Answer:

Speed per second= 7.5 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

We have a distance (225 feet), and a time (30 seconds). Also, we know that the speed was constant.

All we have to do is divide the distance by the time and determine the speed per second:

Speed per second= distance / time

Speed per second= 225 / 30

Speed per second= 7.5 feet per second

Answer:

x= 45

y= 18.5 (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the quadrilateral has 4 equal sides, it is a square and hence the 4 angles are right angles.

I have drawn the 2 triangles of the square separately for better understanding.

Find the Incomplete table in attached file

Given:

A car travels 55 miles per hour for 2 hours.

So the speed of the car 55 miles per hour is constant for 2 hours.

Using speed formula.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Second row.

From the second row of the table $time = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$55=\frac{distance}{0.5}$

$distance = 55\times 0.5$

$distance = 27.5\ mi$

Third row.

From the third row of the table $time =1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$55=\frac{distance}{1.5}$

$distance = 55\times 1.5$

$distance = 82.5\ mi$

Fourth row.

From the fourth row of the table $distance =110\ miles$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find time.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

$time=\frac{110}{55}$

$time = 2\ sec$

Therefore we complete the table from the above calculation.
