Every real number is irrational this is true
Well first you need to find the unit rate. Divide 15 by 3.....get 5 minutes for 1 mile. Then you would multiply 5 by 8 which is 40 so 40 minutes (B) is your answer :)
The area of the parallelogram is given by:
A = b * h
Where,
b: base
h: height
Substituting values we have:
A = (16.5) * (6)
A = 99 feet ^ 2

Rounding:
N = 20
Answer:
It will be needed 20 packages of tile to tile the music room floor
From the two right triangles, you can write the following equations using the Pythagorean theorem. Let's call that shared leg in the middle "y"
y^2 + b^2 = a^2
y^2 + c^2 = x^2
y^2 + b^2 = a^2
re-write this to get "y" alone for substitution.
y^2 = a^2 - b^2
substitute (a^2 - b^2) for y^2 in the other equation. y^2 + c^2 = x^2
a^2 - b^2 + c^2 = x^2
Now put in the values given for a,b,c to solve for x
(7.1)^2 - (5.6)^2 + (5.7)^2 = x^2
51.54 = x^2
square root
7.2 = x
