Given that Trent's watch runs at half the speed it should run, this implies that
for every hour passed, his watch moves by half an hour.
Hence, for every half-hour passed, Trent's watch moves by 15 minutes.
Hence, when the real time is 10:30 am, Trent's watch will show 9:15 am.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side length for the octagon having 9m² as area = x
Side length for the octagon having area of 25m² = y.
Thus:
(area of similar polygons theorem)
The scale factor of their sides would be
. Which is:



Scale factor of their sides = 
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the inverse, swap the x- and y-variables, then solve for y. We should have the equation: 
Solving for y:
because
or 
So on interchanging the variable, we get the equation:
