Answer:

About 76.159 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by using an equation. Let's call the combined width of the sandbox and grass x+5, and the length x+7.

(x+5)(x+7)=189

x^2+12x+35=189

x^2+12x-154=0

x≈7.784 feet

x(x+2)≈76.159. Hope this helps!

Answer:

9.28 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d(t₀) represent the initial position of Kauai island = 0 km from the hot spot. at time t = 0 million years. Let d(t₁) represent its final position at time t₁ = 5.1 million years later in the North - west direction. d(t₁)=473 km = 4.73 × 10³ cm. The average speed v = total distance/ total time =[d(t₁) - d(t₀)]/t₁₋t₀ = (4.73 × 10³ - 0)/(5.1 × 10⁶ - 0) =  4.73/5.1 × 10³⁻⁶ = 9.275 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year ≅ 9.28 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year
