Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.

Asource of laser light sends rays ab and ac toward two opposite walls of a hall. the light rays strike the walls at points b and c, as shown below: what is the distance between the walls?

|p| > 3 {-3, 3} {p|-3 < p < 3} {p|p < -3 or p > 3}
