Suppose that a cyclist began a 374 mi ride across a state at the western edge of the​ state, at the same time that a car traveli

ng toward it leaves the eastern end of the state. If the bicycle and car met after 5.5 hr and the car traveled 33.433.4 mph faster than the​ bicycle, find the average rate of each.

This is the concept of relative speed; We are required to calculate the speed of the car and the bicycle.
Distance between the car and Bicycle=374 miles
Time they met=5.5 hr
Speed traveled by bicycle=x
Speed traveled by car=x+33.4334
Relative speed=x+(x+33.4334)=(2x+33.4334) mph
Distance=speed*time
374=(2x+33.4334)*5.5
374=11x+183.8837
collecting like term we get:
374-183.8837=11x
11x=190.1163
thus;
x=(190.1163)/(11)
x=17.2833 mph
thus the speed of the bicycle was x=17.2833 mph
The speed of the car was (x+33.4334)=(17.2833+33.4334)=50.7167 mph

Answer:

volume=pi times r^2 height÷3.

r is the radius, or in this case 4yd. height is 10yd. pi is 3.14

Here are the steps:

3.14r^2 height÷3

3.14×4^2 10÷3

=167.55

final answer rounded to the nearest tenth: 167.6

I apologize for getting the math wrong the first time. My formula was correct, but I needed to double check my calculations. I'm certain this is the right answer.

If G is the midpoint of FH, FG= 14x + 25 and GH = 73- 2x, find FH
Alenkinab [10]
Given that G is the midpoint of FH, then:
FG=GH
hence;
14x+25=73-2x
solving for x we get:
14x+2x=73-25
16x=48
x=48/16
x=3
therefore the length FG=14x+25 will be:
14*3+25
=67
hence FH will be:
FH=67*2=134

What is the value of the 9th term in the following geometric sequence?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:  The correct option is (D) 196608.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of the 9th term in the following geometric sequence :

3,     12,    48,    192,    .     .     .

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

a_n=ar^{n-1}.

For the given sequence, we have

first term, a = 3  and the common ratio, r is given by

r=\dfrac{12}{3}=\dfrac{48}{12}=\dfrac{192}{48}=~~.~~.~~.~~=4.

Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence will be

a_9=ar^{9-1}=3\times 4^8=3\times65536=196608.

Thus, the required 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Find the area of a regular 12-sided polygon with side of length s and apothem 8.
aliina [53]
Apothem is the height of a triangel formed by two consecutive vertices with the center.  the are of this triangle = 1/2 s 8  = 4s
there area 12 such triangles in the regular 12 side polygon
So area = 12 * 4 s = 48 s
