Example: Which Team will win the Race? You have decided to walk in a long-distance race. There are two teams that you can join. Team Awalks at a constant
rate of 2.5 miles per hour. Team B walks 4 miles the first hour and then 2 miles per hour after that.
Task: Create a table for each team showing the distances that would be walked for times of 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 hours
Using your tables, answer the questions that follow.
Team A

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
