Arectangle had sides of 8.80 ft and 24.1 ft. calculate the area of the rectangle in cm^2 (you should get 197000 cm^2) show your work

I ft  = 30.48 cm

length l = 8.80 ft = 8.80* (30.48 cm) = 268.224 cm

width w = 24.1 ft = 24.1 * (30.48 cm) = 734.568 cm

Area  A = l*w = (268.224 cm)(734.568 cm)

A = 197028 cm^2

A = 197000 cm^2

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
