Answer:

1,460 hours per year.

113,880 hours in a lifetime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Let's assume that on an average day Americans drive 4 hours a day. This includes going and coming from work as well as any groceries they might need to do. Since there are 365 days in a year we can multiply this by the hours a day driven.

365*4 = 1,460

We can "guesstimate" that on average an American drives 1,460 hours per year.

Based on my research the average lifetime of an American is 78 years old. We can now multiply this by the number of hours driven in a year to have an idea of the number of hours driven in a lifetime.

1,460*78 = 113,880

On average we "guesstimate" that an American drives 113,880 hours in a lifetime.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Explain how horizontal and vertical translations each affect the coordinates of the points of a figure?
Neporo4naja [7]
Translations of geometric figures in the coordinate plane can be determined by translating the x- and y-coordinates of points. Horizontal and vertical translations are the easiest. ... Solution: A horizontal translation just changes the x-coordinates of all points, so the rule is (x, y) à (x + 3, y).

A rectangular field has an area 28800 sq.meter.its length is twice as long as its width.what is the length of its sides?
AVprozaik [17]
Let 
x---------> the length side of rectangle
y---------> the width side of rectangle

we know that
x=2y-----> equation 1
area=x*y-------> 28800=x*y------> equation 2
substitute 1 in 2

28800=[2y]*y-----> 28800=2y²-------> y²=14400------> y=120 m
x=2*y----> x=2*120------> x=240 m

the answer is
the length side of rectangle is 240 m
 the width side of rectangle is 120 m

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

100π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle formula: πr²

The radius would be half of 20 m

So the radius, r is 10 m

Plug that in

πr²=π·10²=100π
