Base x height divided by 2
10x8=80
80÷2=40
area=40
Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.
The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.
Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

Answer:
Jeff mows 9 yards of lawn in 30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that models the amount of time (t) in minutes it takes Jeff to mow an average sized yard is 
, where n is the number of yards he mows.
To find the number of yards Jeff mows in 30 minutes, we set the equation to 30 and solve for n.
Add -12 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 2
Hence Jeff mows 9 yards of lawn in 30 minutes.
500 meters/4 minutes = 125 meters/minute
<span>4 minutes / 500 meters = 0.008 minutes/meter</span>
