Complete question is;

A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 18 minutes.

a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive?

b. How far is the flowerbed from the hive?

Answer:

A) (d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

B) d = 648 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive.

Time taken is given as;

t = distance/speed

If distance is d from the hive to the flower bird.

Then, t1 = d/9

The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes. Thus, time spent at the flowerbird in seconds is; t2 = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds.

We are told that the bee flew directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second.

Thus,time is;

t3 = d/6

Since total time spent away from hive is 18 minutes, then converting to seconds, we have; t = 18 × 60 = 1080 s

Thus;

(d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

B) Since we have derived;

(d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

Then we can find d.

Multiply through by 18 to get;

2d + (900 × 18) + 3d = 1080 × 18

2d + 16200 + 3d = 19440

5d = 19440 - 16200

5d = 3240

d = 3240/5

d = 648 ft

A clothing store has a going-out-of business sale. They are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99. You can spend as much
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Let x represents the number of pants and y represents the number of shirts.

As per the statement:

Since, a clothing store are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99

then;

total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99

Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.

then, we have the equation of inequality;

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;......[1]         where x, y are natural number.

x-intercept:

Substitute the value y= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99x + 3.99(0) \leq 60

8.99x \leq 60

Simplify:

x \leq 6.667

Since, x is in natural number;

x \leq 7

Similarly.

For y-intercept:

Substitute the value x= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99(0) + 3.99y \leq 60

3.99y \leq 60

Simplify:

y \leq 15.037

y \leq 15

Therefore, we have

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;

2\leq x\leq 7 and  0\leq y\leq 15

In triangle ABC, if an exterior angle drawn at vertex C
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Part 1) Option D. must be an acute angle

Part 2) m∠A=70°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) In triangle ABC, if an exterior angle drawn at vertex C  measures 45, then angle B...

we know that

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

so

The measure of an exterior angle at C is equal to the sum of the interior angles at A and B

we have that

45°=m∠A+m∠B

therefore

m∠B < 90°

Angle B must be an acute angle

Part 2)

we know that

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

so

The measure of an exterior angle at B is equal to the sum of the interior angles at A and C

m∠A+m∠C=2m∠C+5

m∠C=m∠A-5 ----> equation A

m∠C=65° ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

65°=m∠A-5

m∠A=(65+5)°=70°

A sports team is selling circular patches for their fans. Each patch has a
atroni [7]

Answer: 63.59cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area covered by the pitch will be gotten by finding the value of the area of the circle and this will be:

Area of q circle = πr²

where,

π = 3.14

r = radius = diameter/2 = 9cm/2 = 4.5cm

Area = πr² = 3.14 × 4.5²

= 3.14 × 20.25

= 63.59cm²

Therefore, the area covered by the pitch is 63.59cm²
