Noel and Casey both start at the same place. Noel walks due south and Casey walks due east. After some time has passed, Noel is

6 miles south and Casey is 8 miles east. At this time, Noel is walking at a rate of 2 mph and Casey is walking at a rate of 1 mph. How fast is the distance between them increasing at this time

Answer:

2.04 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Noel

n_1 =6miles

r_1 = 2mph

Casey

c_1 = 8miles

r_2 =1mph

Required

The rate at which the distance increases

Their movement forms a right triangle and the distance between them is the hypotenuse.

At n_1 =6miles and c_1 = 8miles

The distance between them is:

d_1 = \sqrt{n_1^2 + c_1^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{100}

d_1 = 10miles

After 1 hour, their new position is:

New = Old + Rate * Time

n_2 = n_1 + r_1 * 1

n_2 = 6 + 2 * 1 = 8

And:

c_2 = c_1 + r_2 * 1

c_2 = 8 + 1 * 1 = 9

So, the distance between them is now:

d_2 = \sqrt{n_2^2 + c_2^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{8^2 + 9^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{145}

d_2 = 12.04

The rate of change is:

\triangle d = d_2 -d_1

\triangle d = 12.04 -10

\triangle d = 2.04

Two semicircles are attached to the sides of a rectangle as shown.
NeTakaya

Answer:

  • 157 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shape is the sum of three sections

<u>1. Rectangle</u>

  • A = 5*14 = 70 in²

<u>2. Bigger semicircle</u>

  • A = 1/2π(14/2)² = 76.96 ≈ 77 in² (rounded)

<u>3. Smaller semicircle</u>

  • A = 1/2π(5/2)² = 9.8174 ≈ 10 in² (rounded)

<u>Total area:</u>

  • 70 + 77 + 10 = 157 in²
