At the beginning of a snowstorm, Nathaniel had 5 inches of snow on his lawn. The snow then began to fall at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per hour.
Assuming no snow was melting, how much snow would Nathaniel have on his
lawn 5 hours after the snow began to fall? How much snow would Nathaniel
have on his lawn after t hours of snow falling?
Snow after 5 hours:
Show after t hours:

In 5 hours he would have 7.5 inches of snow JUST from the snowstorm but the question says that he already had 5 inches in his lawn so that would make 12.5 inches of snow in 5 hours.

The second one says t, it doesn't state a number so lets assume the number is ten. So that's 5 more hours of constant snowfall, this makes our total be the sum of 12.5+7.5. This is equal to 20.

10 hours into the snowstorm Nathaniel had 20 inches of snow in his lawn.

Consider a brainliest if it helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
