Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.

A cylinder has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 12 cm, what is the volume?
nika2105 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a cylinder

  • Radius=r=5cm
  • Height=h=12cm

We know that

\boxed { \sf \: volume = \pi {r}^{2} h} \\  \rm \rightharpoonup \:  \frac{22}{7}  \times  {5}^{2}  \times 12 \\  \rm \rightharpoonup \:  \frac{22}{7}  \times 25 \times 12 \\  \rm \rightharpoonup \:  \frac{6600}{7}  \\  \rm \rightharpoonup \: 942.8cm {}^{3}
