On a trip, Duke encounters some road construction that slows him down. While he is able to go 60 mph on the highway and 40 mph t

hrough cities, he can only go 20 mph past the construction. He spends one half the time on the highway as he does in construction, so the 380-mile trip takes 11 hours. How much of this time does he spend on the highway, in the city, and through road construction?

Answer:

Time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed by which Duke travels a distance on highway d_1 = 60 mph

Let the time taken to travel on highway = t_1 hours

Distance traveled = 60t_1 miles

Speed in the city = 40 mph

Let the time taken = t_2 hours

Distance traveled in the city = 40t_2 miles

Speed on the construction = 20 mph

Let the time spend on the construction = t_3 hours

Distance traveled on the construction = 20t_3 miles

Since, total distance covered = 380 miles

d_1+d_2+d_3=60t_1+40t_2+20t_3

He spends one half the time on the highway as he does on the construction,

t_3=2t_1

Total time spent in the trip = 11 hours

Therefore, t_1+t_2+t_3=11

t_1+t_2+2t_1=11

t_2=11-3t_1

From equation (1),

60t_1+40(11-3t_1)+20(2t_1)=380

60t_1-120t_1+40t_1+440=380

440-20t_1=380

20t_1=440-380

t_1=\frac{60}{20}

t_1=3 hours

t_2=11-3t_1=2 hours

t_3=2t_1=6 hours

Therefore, time taken by Duke on the highway = 3 hours

Time spent on the construction = 6 hours

Time spent in the city = 2 hours

What is the surface area of a cylinder that is 5 centimeters high and has a diameter of 1.5 centimeters?
olchik [2.2K]

The surface area of cylinder is 8.625\pi cm^{2}, if the cylinder has 5 centimeters high and 1.5 cm of diameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

          Cylinder has a 5 centimeters height

          Diameter of the cylinder is 1.5 centimeters

Step:1

          Formula for the surface area of cylinder is,

                     A=2\pi r h + 2\pi  r^{2}......................................(1)

          Where,

                   h - Height of cylinder

                   r - Radius of cylinder

        From the values of h and r,

                   r=\frac{d}{2}

                      = \frac{1.5}{2}

                   r  = 0.75 cm

       From the formula,

                      = ( 2 × \pi × 0.75 × 5 ) + ( 2 × \pi × 0.75^{2} )

                      = ( 7.5 \pi ) + ( 1.125 \pi )

                  A = 8.625\pi cm^{2}

Result:

        The surface area of cylinder is 8.625\pi cm^{2}, if the cylinder has 5 centimeters high and 1.5 cm of diameter.
