If a sports car is traveling at 95 miles per hour, how long would it take the sports car to overtake a family car traveling at 3

5 miles per hour that left the same starting point 4.5 hours earlier?

Distance = speed * time
d = st

The sports car travels d distance for t time at speed, s, 95 mph until it overtakes the family
car.
The equation for the sports car is
d = 95t

The family car travels the same distance, d, but since it left 4.5 hours earlier  than the sports car, it travels for t + 4.5 time until it is overtaken. It travels at speed, 35 mph.
The equation for the family car is
d = 35(t + 4.5)

We solve the two equations as a system of equations.

d = 95t
d = 35(t + 4.5)

Since d = d, set the right sides of the equations above equal to each other.

95t = 35(t + 4.5)

95t = 35t + 157.5

60t = 157.5

t = 2.625

The answer is 2.625 hours, or 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Check:
In 2.625 hours, the sports car travels: 95 mph * 2.625 h = 249.375 miles
The family car traveled 2.625 hours plus the extra 4.5 hours, or 7.125 hours.
In 7.125 hours, the family car travels 35 mph * 7.125 h = 249.375 miles.
The cars have traveled the same distance 2.625 hours after the sports car left, so our answer is correct.

Answer:

Part A:

The surface area of a cylinder is given by

A=  6πr² if h= 2r

Part B:

Total Cost of covering the cylinder = Rate *2πrh + rate*2πr²

Cost of covering only the side = Rate *2πrh

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The surface area of a cylinder is given by

A= 2πrh + 2πr²

Where h= height and radius = r

But we have the height twice as radius so h= 2r

So putting h= 2r we get

A= 2πr(2r) + 2πr²

A= 4πr² + 2πr²= 2πr²(2+1) = 2πr²(3)= 6πr²

Part B:

Cost = Rate * area of the wall + rate * area of the top and bottom

Cost = Rate *2πrh + rate*2πr²

Where area of the top and bottom= πr² +πr² =2 πr²

and area of the side = 2πrh

Multiplying both with the rate and then adding would give the total cost of materials needed to cover the outside of the cylinder and from top and bottom as well.

If  you do not need to cover top and bottom then the expression would be

Cost of covering only the side = Rate *2πrh

Part C:

Already done above.
