It is given that , length is 3 feet and width is 2 feet.

And we have to convert the area in square inches.

$1 feet =12 inches| therefore\\2feet = 2*12 inches = 24 inches\\3feet = 3*12 inches = 36 inches$

Area equals to the product of length and width, that is

$Area = 24*36 in^2 = 864 inches^2$

Therefore the required area in square inches is 864 square inches .

The table below represents the displacement of a turtle from its nest as a function of time: Time (hours) x Displacement from ne

andriy [413]

Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)

Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short, we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

$slope= \frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{93-27}{4-1}= \frac{66}{3}=22$

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.

Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.

y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.

What is the value of RT or x

Anna007 [38]

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

x 9

---- = ----

16 x

Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)

Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or

x= plus or minus 12

Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
