If a car has tires with a radius of 1.5 ft and the tires are spinning at 840 rpm (revolutions per
1 answer:
Answer:
89·98 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we get the circumference of the tires:
Circumference = × (radius × 2)
Circumference = 3.142 × (1·5 × 2)
Circumference = 3·142 × 3
Circumference = 9·426 ft
The circumference of the tire is equal to one round.
1 round = 9·426 ft
840 rounds = ?
We cross multiply to get the length that the tires would cover in a minute
= <u>840 × 9·426</u>
1
1 minute = 7917·84 ft
60 minutes = ?
<u>60 × 7917·84</u>
1
= 475070·4 ft
5280 feet = 1 mile
475070·4 feet = ?
<u>475070·4 × 1</u>
5280
475070·4 ÷ 5280 = speed of the car in mph
89·97545
Round this off to 2 decimal places...
= 89·98 mph
hope this helps! =)

Answer:
The dimensions of the vegetable patch is 8 m by 7 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a vegetable patch is 56 square meters and the perimeter is 30 m.
If l is length and b is breadth, then area and perimeter of a rectangle is given by :
Substituting the values in the above formulas as :
and
We need to solve equation (1) and (2) to find the values of l and b such that :
Equation (2), l = 15 - b
Equation (1) becomes,
If b = 7 m, so, l = 8 m
If b = 8 m, l = 7 m
So, the dimensions of the vegetable patch is 8 m by 7 m.
