The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

A) 60 miles; and B) 3.375 hours.

Explanation:

We will use the equation d = rt for this.

For the first leg of the trip, the bird travels 20 miles per hour for x hours.  This gives us the equation

d = 20x

For the return trip, the bird travels 4 miles per hour slower, so 20-4 = 16 miles per hour.  He also travels 6 miles less than the return distance, for x hours:

d-6 = 16x

To isolate d, we will add 6 to each side:

d-6+6 = 16x+6

d = 16x+6

We will set the two equations equal to one another, since they both equal d:

20x = 16x+6

Subtract 16x from each side:

20x-16x = 16x+6-16x

4x = 6

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 1.5

He travels for 1.5 hours both times.

The first time, 1.5 hours at 20 miles per hour is:

d = 1.5(20) = 30 miles

The original trip is 30 miles.  This makes the entire trip 30(2) = 60 miles.

On the return trip, he travels 30-6 = 24 miles at 16 miles per hour:

24 = 16x

Divide both sides by 16:

24/16 = 16x/16

1.5 = x

If he goes 24 miles in 1.5 hours at 16 miles per hour, we can use a proportion to find the time it takes for the entire return trip:

24/1.5 = 30/x

Cross multiplying,

24*x = 1.5(30)

24x = 45

24x/24 = 45/24

x = 1.875

This gives him a total time of 1.5+1.875 = 3.375 hours.

In a local ice sculpture contest, one group sculpted a block into a rectangular based pyramid. The dimensions of the base were 3
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1. The amount of ice needed = 18 m²

2. The amount of fabric needed to manufacture the umbrella is 0.76 m²

3. The height of the cone, is 3.75 cm

4. The dimensions of the deck are;

Width = 28/3 m, breadth = 28/3 m

The area be 87.11 m²

5.   The dimensions of the optimal design for setting the storage area at the corner, we have;

Width = 10m

Breadth = 10 m

The dimensions of the optimal design for setting the storage area at the back of their building are;

Width = 7·√2 m

Breadth = 7·√2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The amount of ice needed is given by the volume, V, of the pyramid given by V = 1/3 × Base area × Height

The base area = Base width × Base breadth = 3 × 5 = 15 m²

The pyramid height = 3.6 m

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3*15*3.6 = 18 m²

The amount of ice needed = 18 m²

2. The surface area of the umbrella = The surface area of a cone (without the base)

The surface area of a cone (without the base) = π×r×l

Where:

r = The radius of the cone = 0.4 m

l = The slant height = √(h² + r²)

h = The height of the cone = 0.45 m

l = √(0.45² + 0.4²) = 0.6021 m

The surface area = π×0.4×0.6021 = 0.76 m²

The surface area of a cone (without the base) = 0.76 m²

The surface area of the umbrella = 0.76 m²

The amount of fabric needed to manufacture the umbrella = The surface area of the umbrella = 0.76 m²

3. The volume, V, of the cone = 1/3×Base area, A, ×Height, h

The volume of the cone V = 150 cm³

The base area of the cone A = 120 cm²

Therefore we have;

V = 1/3×A×h

The height of the cone, h = 3×V/A = 3*150/120 = 3.75 cm

4. Given that the deck will have railings on three sides, we have;

Maximum dimension = The dimension of a square as it is the product of two  equal maximum obtainable numbers

Therefore, since the deck will have only three sides, we have that the length of each side are equal and the fourth side can accommodate any dimension of the other sides giving the maximum dimension of each side as 28/3

The dimensions of the deck are width = 28/3 m, breadth = 28/3 m

The area will then be 28/3×28/3 = 784/9 = 87\frac{1}{9} =87.11 m²

5. The optimal design for setting the storage area at the corner of their property with four sides is having the dimensions to be that of of a square with equal sides of 10 m each as follows;

Width = 10m

Breadth = 10 m

The optimal design to have the storage area at the back of their building having a fence on only three sides, is given as follows;

Storage area specified = 98 m²

For optimal use of fencing, we have optimal side size of fencing = s = Side length of a square

s² = 98 m²

Therefore, s = √98 = 7·√2 m

Which gives the width = 7·√2 m and the breadth = 7·√2 m.

bija089 [108]
I found a graph with the same problem, so I guess this is the graph to be based on. To find the rate, just determine the slope between any two points along the line. Suppose these points are: (30,10) and (50,20).

Slope = (20 - 10)/(50 - 30) = 1/2

<em>The correct answer should be: the rate of change is 1 cm per 2 weeks, or 1/2.</em>
