In 1970, a record 1.5 inches of rain fell in one minute at brasse terre, guadalupe in the caribbean. at this rate how much rain fell in 3 seconds or 0.05 of a minute? a 3 b 0.075 c 0.75 d 30 inch. pick one. evan chose d as the correct answer. how did he get that answer?

B. 0.075 in

Evan apparently divided by time. He might do that if he were not paying attention to units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rainfall rate is ...

... (1.5 in)/(60 s) = (1/40) in/s = 0.025 in/s

To find the rainfall in 3 s, you need to multiply rate by time:

... (0.025 in/s)×(3 s) = 0.075 in

If you keep the rate and time in terms of minutes, then you have:

... (1.5 in/min)×(0.05 min) = 0.075 in

Evan apparently divided, instead. His number is not inches.

... (1.5 in/min)/(0.05 min) = 30 in/min² . . . . not the appropriate units for the problem

step-by-step explanation:

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
