The distance walked by Stephen is 42.42 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that In the center of town there is a square park with an area of 900 square feet

Stephen walks from one corner of the park to the opposite corner

To find: Distance walked by Stephen

We need to find the distance that the person walk from one corner of the park to the opposite corner.

So, we need to find the Diagonal of the square park

<em><u>The diagonal of square is given as:</u></em>

\text{ Diagonal } = \sqrt{2} \times \text{ side}

Let us find the length of side of square

Given area of square = 900 square feet

<em><u>The area of square is given as:</u></em>

area = (side)^2\\\\900 = (side)^2

Taking square root on both sides,

side = \sqrt{900} \\\\side = 30

Thus length of each side of square is 30 feet

<em><u>Therefore, length of diagonal is given as:</u></em>

diagonal = \sqrt{2} \times 30\\\\diagonal = 1.414 \times 30 = 42.42

Hence, the distance that the person walks 42.42 feet

lakkis [162]
We can factor out the 4 to get
4(2a^3b^8+ab-4ab^8)
we can also factor out the ab
4ab(2a^2b^7+1-4b^7)
that is factored completely

William invested $800 in an account that paid 5% simple interest per year.
Blababa [14]
A) Interest = principal * rate * time

I = (800)(0.05)(3) = $120

b) $800 + $120 = $920 after the three years. $920 * (1 - 0.02) = $901.60.

Travelling with a current, a boat covers a distance 1.5times greater than travelling against the current in the same amount of t
slega [8]
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A SUPER SIMPLE ANSWER TO THIS!!??
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

A difference of squares has the following form . Any two perfect squares connected by subtraction can be factored.

It factors to (a+b)(a-b).

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial is an expression with only terms where at least one is a term with a variable. When we can factor for difference of squares, we can have two variable terms or just one with a constant.

A difference of squares has the following form . Any two perfect squares connected by subtraction can be factored.

It factors to (a+b)(a-b).
