Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell

                                     (2.5 m/s) x (45 s)  =  112.5 meters .

If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen

                                      (112.5 m  -  40 m)  =  72.5 meters

from its storage position on the big cruise ship, 
before it ever reached the water.

Since it was falling at the rate of  2.5 m/s, it took

                                     (72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s)  =  29 seconds

to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.

What is the area of the shape
Radda [10]

Answer:

A= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height, find the blocks inside the shape that is completely attached (they have to be in a straight vertical line).  In this case, you can see that three vertical blocks in the middle of the shape is completely attached.  That means your height is 3.

To find the width, look at the how many horizontal boxes make up the top.  6 block inside the shape corispond with 6 blocks on top of the shape, so the width is six.

Multiply 6 by 3 to get 18.

Which expressions are polynomials?
cupoosta [38]

<em><u>The expressions that are polynomial are:</u></em>

6 + w

2x^4 - y

z + 1

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

A polynomial is an expression with variables and coefficients with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables

1) 6 + w

Here "w" is a variable, hence it is a polynomial expression

2)\ 2x^4 - y

This is a polynomial, since it has variables and coefficients and variable with non negative exponent

3) z + 1

This is also a polynomial with variable "z" and has addition operation

4)\ y^2 - y\sqrt{3} + 4

Since it has root so it is not a polynomial
