The truck can cover 145 miles in 2.5 hours, so the speed of the truck is 
145÷2.5=58 miles per hour
the car's speed is 1.5 times faster: 58×1.5=87 miles per hour
suppose in x hours they will meet:
distance covered by truck in x hour: 58x
distance covered by car in x hour: 87x
total distance: 145 miles
58x+87x=145
x=1

hjlf
The rule of geometric sequence is   ⇒⇒⇒ a * r^(n-1)
Where a is the first term and  r is the common ratio
for the given sequence  √5 , √10 , 2√5 , .......
a = √5
r = √10 / √5 = √2
The ninth term = √5 * (√2)^(9-1) = √5 * (√2)⁸ = 16 √5
