\bf \begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate(mph)&time(hrs)\\\\
&-----&-----&-------\\\\
\textit{first train}&d&80&t\\
\textit{second train}&238-d&90&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\

\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=(80)(t)\\\\
238-\boxed{d}=(90)(t)
\end{cases}

see the substitution?  so.. do the substitution on the 2nd equation, and solve for "t"

bear in mind that, when the trains meet, over the same road, they have been traveling the same distance, one is faster than the other, so the distances differ, but the time does  not, is the same for both,

if the first train has been running 45mins and met the second train,
then the second train has also been running for 45mins,
thus "t" is the same for both

Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 95.03 square feet
Leona [35]

Answer:

diameter ≈ 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a circle is calculated using the formula

A = πr² ← r is the radius

To find r divide both sides of the equation by π

r² = \frac{A}{\pi } = \frac{95.03}{\pi }

Take the square root of both sides

r = \sqrt{\frac{95.03}{\pi } } ≈ 5.5 feet

Diameter = 2r = 2 × 5.5 = 11 feet
