Answer:

Let the total distance Aileen ran be 'x'

Let the distance ran by Andrew be 'y'

Refer to graph attached for graphical representation of distance travelled by both.

Applying the formula,

distance=speed*time

x=20*t Equation 1

y= 15*t equation 2

Since it can be easily understood by the graph attached, that

x=150+y equation 3

Now putting values of x and y in equation 3

20*t =150 +15*t.

5t= 150

t=30 seconds.

putting the values of t in both the equation 1 and 2

x=20t

=20*30

x = 600 feet

So the distance ran by Aileen is 600 feet, whereas Andrew ran 450 feet.

Do not mind the names just change them. I had the same question before with different names so that is why. Hope this helps:)

Given:

The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).

To find:

The area of the rectangle.

Solution:

Distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using the distance formula, we get

$AB=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(4-1)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{(2)^2+(3)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{4+9}$

$AB=\sqrt{13}$

Similarly,

$BC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(0-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-4)^2}$

$BC=\sqrt{16+16}$

$BC=\sqrt{32}$

$BC=4\sqrt{2}$

Now, the length of the rectangle is $AB=\sqrt{13}$ and the width of the rectangle is $BC=4\sqrt{2}$ . So, the area of the rectangle is:

$A=length \times width$

$A=\sqrt{13}\times 4\sqrt{2}$

$A=4\sqrt{26}$

$A\approx 20$

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.
