Martin burns 360 calories running for 30 minutes. Paul burns 165 calories for every 15 minute he runs. If Kara runs for 20 minut

Yanka [14]

Answer: She would have to burn between 220 and 240 calories per minute to have a calorie burn rate between those of Martin and Paul.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin:

360 calories / 30 min = 12 calories/min

Paul:

165 calories / 15 min = 11 calories/min

Kara:

Needs to burn between 11 and 12 calories/min, so we'll calculate the range:

11 calories/min x 20 min = 220 calories (minimum # calories she can burn)

12 calories/min x 20 min = 240 calories (maximum # calories she can burn)

Inside a square with side length 10, two congruent equilateral triangles are drawn such that they share one side and each has on

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

5 length

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram attached shows two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE. Since both squares share one side of the square BDFH of length 10, then their lengths will be 5 each. To obtain the largest square inscribed inside the original square BDFH, it makes sense to draw two other equilateral triangles AGH & EFG at the upper part of BDFH with length equal to 5.

So, the largest square that can be inscribe in the space outside the two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE and within BDFH is the square ACEG.
