Answer:

63.5 feet/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

She first descended 1,024 feet in 17 minutes

Then she descended 500 feet in 7 minutes

The total feet descended is 1,024 + 500 = 1,524 feet

The total time to descend is 17 + 7 = 24 minutes

The average rate of change in altitude is  

Altitude descended / time

1,524 feet / 24 minutes

63.5 feet /minute

Using the Division algorithm to find q and r such that 3662 = q·16+r , where 0 ≤ r < 16 . What if we take c = −3662 instead o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) If c=3662 then q=228 and r=14.

b) If c=-3662, then q=-229 and r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Observe that 229*16=3664, since r must be in the interval [0,16), then 229 doesn't work, but 228*16=3648 and 3662-3648=14.

Then 3662=228*16+14.

b) Observe that -228*16=-3648 and -3648-14=-3662, but r= must be positive. Then -228 doesn't work.

But observe that -229*16=-3664 and -3664+2=-3662. So -3662=-229*16+2

Lines are drawn on the gym floor for different sports for basketball playing area is marked so that there is an out of bounds. 2
choli [55]

Answer:

16 m  × 11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the gym is 20 m x 15 m. An outbound of 2m width is to be cut out from the gym to form the basketball court.

The original length of gym = 20 m and original width of gym = 15 m

2 m would be cut at both sides of the gym length for the outbound. Also 2 m would be cut at both sides of the gym width for the outbound. Therefore:

Length of basketball court = 20 m - (2 * 2m) = 20 m - 4 m = 16 m

Width of basketball court = 15 m - (2 * 2m) = 15 m - 4 m = 11 m

Therefore the dimensions of the basketball court is:

16 m × 11 m
