At 2:00 p.m. two cars start toward each other from towns 240 miles apart. If the rate of one car is 10 mph faster than the other

, how fast does each car go if they meet at 5:00 p.m.? If 3x represents the distance that the slower car traveled, then which expression represents the distance the faster car traveled?

Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.

At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).

But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles

Find the area of the blue shaded region. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

173.01

Step-by-step explanation:

To area of a sector or portion of a circle is found using:

A = \frac{N}{360} \pi r^2

Substitute N = 50 and A = 27.93.

It becomes 27.93 = \frac{50}{360} \pi r^2\\27.93 = 0.139 \pi r^2\\200.94 = \pi r^2

The area of the entire circle is 200.94. The area of the blue part of the circle can be found by subtracting the red section from the entire circle.

200.94 - 27.93 = 173.01
