Kara and Lindsey both hike in separate directions from their campsite, with Kara hiking straight to the east and Lindsey hiking

straight north. At
2:00 p.m., Kara hiked twice as far to the east as Lindsey hiked to the north. At 2:30 p.m., Kara had covered another mile, while Lindsey had
covered another half of a mile. If x represents Lindsey's distance, in miles, from the campsite at 2:00p.m., what function could be used to
represent the area of the triangular region formed by the girls' locations and the campsite at 2:30 p.m.?

Answer:

A. f(x)=x^2+x+0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents Lindsey's distance at 2:00 PM, then 2x represents Kara's distance at 2:00 PM because she walked twice as far as Lindsey. Then adding on the values we got for 2:30 PM, we get that Kara walked a distance of 2x+1 and Lindsey walked a distance of x+0.5 at the time of 2:30 PM. Now, we know that they have formed a right triangle because we are given the directions they walked in; east and north. This allows us to use a formula for the area of a right triangle: 1/2(L x W). Plugging in our values, we get...

1/2(2x+1)(x+0.5)

which simplifies to...

1/2(2x^2+2x+0.5)

which further simplifies to...

x^2+x+0.25

which is our answer.

If the question is how much Cody will jog to save ratio 4miles:3 miles
The ratio is \frac{3}{4}
We can just multiply 1 miles by ratio to see how much Cody will jog, so
1* \frac{3}{4} =\frac{3}{4} miles 
The result is \frac{3}{4} miles

Under his cell phone plan, Ian pays a flat cost of $59.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill under $80 per
inessss [21]
You would start by saying his budget is $80 so you start with 80= he pays an initial fee of $59.50 every month plus $5 per gigabyte so you would set it up like
80=59.50+5x
X being how many gigabytes he uses then you solve 80-59.50 is 20.5 divided by 5 gives you 4.1 but you round down cause you don’t want to pass the limit so therefor the most gigabytes he can use is 4
