Agroup of boy scouts on a straight trail headed n30.6e found the trail led through a briar patch. they chose to walk 156 meters due east along the south edge of the briar patch, then due north along the east edge of the patch back to the trail. how much farther did they walk to avoid walking through the briar patch?

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.
