Answer:

(a) 1.5 inches

(b) 2.5 inches

(c) 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of first turtle = 4 1/2 inches per  minute = 9/2 inches per minute

speed of the second turtle = 5inches per minute

distance = speed x time

(a) Distance traveled by first turtle in 3 minutes

s = 9/2 x 3 = 13.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 3 minutes

s' = 5 x 3 = 15 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 15 - 13.5 = 1.5 inches

(b) Distance traveled by first turtle in 5 minutes

s = 9/2 x 5 = 22.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 5 minutes

s' = 5 x 5 = 25 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 25 - 22.5 = 2.5 inches

(c) Distance traveled by first turtle in 10 minutes

s = 9/2 x 10 = 45 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 10 minutes

s' = 5 x 10 = 50 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 50 - 45 = 5 inches

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture below is what you are referring to .

The whole area of the shape forms a rectangle. A triangle and a  rectangle has been cut off from the whole carpet rectangle. The square ft or area of the carpet is the subtraction of the area of the rectangle and triangle cut off from the whole area of the rectangle .

Area of the rectangle = Lb

where

L = 12 ft

b =  5 ft

area = 12 × 5  = 60 ft²

The cut off triangle area

area = 1/2 × base × height

area = 1/2 × 4 × 3

area = 12/2 = 6 ft²

The cut off rectangle area

area = Lb

area = 3 × 2

area = 6 ft²

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²
