Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster

than the eastbound cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?
If you can solve this, can you please show your work and explain what I need to plug in where, and what equation I need to use? This is so confusing.

We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!

The length of the base of a rectangular prism is 9
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is <u>320 15/16 inches³</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The length of the base of a rectangular prism is 9 7/8.

The width of the prism is 8 1/8.

And the height is 4 inches.

Now, to find the volume of the prism.

(Length) <em> l = 9 7/8 = 79/8 inches.</em>

(Width)  <em> w = 8 1/8 = 65/8 inches</em>.

(Height)  <em>h = 4 inches</em>.

So, by putting the formula to get the volume:

Volume = w×h×l.

Volume=\frac{65}{8}\times 4\times \frac{79}{8}

Volume=320\frac{15}{16}

<em>Volume = 320 15/16 inches³.</em>

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 320 15/16 inches³.

What is the total surface area of the solid?
Umnica [9.8K]
We’re going to use the formula for area of a rectangle, which is length x width. We are also going to use the formula for area of a triangle which is 1/2 x base x height.

Let’s start with the rectangle under the triangle ends of the roof. They are 11mm wide, 10mm high, and there are two of them.

11 x 10 x 2 = 220

Then the other sides that are 16 x 10. There are 2 of them.
16 x 10 x 2 = 320

Then the rectangular pieces of roof, 9.7 x 16, and there are 2 of them.

9.7 x 16 x 2 = 310.4

Lastly, the triangle pieces of roof. (1/2)(base)(height), but there are 2 of them
1/2 x 11 x 8 x 2 = 88

Add up all the parts:
220 + 320 + 310.4 + 88 = 938.4 mm
