30 miles, every 10 miles the percent drops .5%

We can set this equation up:
3 + .5x = 4.5

Subtract 3 from each side.
.5x = 1.5
x = 3
 
We multiply this by 10 since we factored it in the beginning.

We get 30.

A square with area 4 is inscribed in a square with area 5, with one vertex of the smaller square on each side of the larger squa
Elden [556K]

Answer:

ab = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the large square have length √5 while the sides of the small one have sides of length 2.

Each corner has a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse 2.

So we have the system

a + b = √5

a^2 + b^2 = 2^2 = 4

Using the identity   a^2 + b^2 =  (a + b)^2 - 2ab:

4 = (√5)^2 - 2ab

4 = 5 - 2ab

2ab = 5 - 4 = 1

ab = 1/2.
