Answer:

  512 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 times 8 = 24 hours in a day, so each day the fire doubles in size 3 times to 2^3 = 8 times its starting size. In 3 days, it will have grown to 8^3 times its original size.

The acreage covered is ...

  1·(2^3)^d = 8^d . . . . acres in d days

After 3 days, the size of the fire is ...

  8^3 = 512 acres

HELP PLEASEEE IM STRUGGLING
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that PS and QR are the same size since we are working with parallel sides of a parallelogram. We can write an equation and solve for z.

5z + 3 = 6z - 3

~Subtract 3 to both sides

5z = 6z - 6

~Subtract 6z to both sides

-z = -6

~Divide -1 to both sides

z = 6

Now, find the length of QR with what we found for z.

6z - 3

6(6) - 3

36 - 3

33

Best of Luck!
