Answer:
d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
Step-by-step explanation:
find the diagonal line passing through the middle of the bottom rectangle:
a² + b² = c²
10² + 8² = c²
100 + 64 = 164
c² = 164
c = √164
c = 12.8062484729
find d:
a² + b² = c²
12² + 12.80624847298² = c²
144+ 164 = 308
c² = 308
c = √308
c = 17.5499287748
therefore d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
Answer:
11 games
Step-by-step explanation:
17+6=23
23/2=11.5
Victoria can play 11 games. You'd usually round up, but in this case you can't play half a game so she'll play 11 games and have one quarter leftover.
Answer:
<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rates of change</u>
The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.
We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.
To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:
15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours
20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours
Now compute both rates of change:
Pool 1:

Pool 2:

Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.
