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

Given the following triangle, if a = 2 and b = 3, find c.<br> √5<br> √10<br> √13
Tems11 [23]
We can use pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4 + 9 = c^2

13 = c^2

sqrt of 13 = c

Hope this helps!

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

R V

1  9π in³ 

2  36π in³

3  81π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

For, r = 1

V = π(1)²9 = 9π in³

For, r = 2

V = π(2)²9 = 4*9π in³ = 36π in³

For r = 3

V = π(3)²9 = 9*9π in³ = 81π in

R V

1  9π in³ 

2  36π in³

3  81π in³
