All together max and jason travel a total of 22 miles
Let
be the cat's speed just as it leaves the edge of the table. Then taking the point 1.3 m below the edge of the table to be the origin, the cat's horizontal position at time
is given by

and its height is

where
is 9.8 m/s^2, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
The time it takes for the cat to hit the ground is
with

(Unfortunately, this doesn't match any of the given options...)
The cat lands 0.75 m away (horizontally) from the edge of the table, so that its speed
was

(Again, not one of the answer choices...)
I'm guessing there's either a typo in the question or answers.
Let length of rectangle=x and width be y
.`. area=x*y
now new length=x+12x/10=22x/10
width=y-y/5=4y/5
now .....
new area=new length-new width=22x/10*4y/5
new area=88xy/50
let's firstly convert both fractions with the same denominator, by simply <u>multiplying each fraction by the other's denominator</u>, let's proceed.
