Divide the area by the width to get the length.
Length = 36x^2y-9xy / 3xy.
= (36x^2y/3xy) - (9xy/3xy)
= 12x-3

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m, and 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel

Olegator [25]

The length of train is 120 meters

The speed of train is 25 meter per second

Solution:

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given that,

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m

And 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel of 2010 m

Let the length of the train be "x"

The total distance travelled by the train across the bridge is given by:

total distance = x + 1260 + x = 2x + 1260

[ here we use x + x to represent that train completely drives through bridge ]

The time taken is given as 60 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}$

The total distance travelled by the train through the tunnel is given by:

total distance = x + 2010 + x = 2x + 2010

The time taken is given as 90 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

The speed of the train was the same in both cases.

Equate both speeds

$\frac{2x+ 1260}{60} = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

$\frac{x+630}{30} = \frac{x+1005}{45}$

$45(x+630) = 30(x+1005)\\\\45x + 28350 = 30x + 30150\\\\45x - 30x = 30150 - 28350\\\\15x = 1800\\\\x = 120$

Thus length of train is 120 meters

Find the speed of train:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}\\\\speed = \frac{2(120) + 1260)}{60}\\\\speed = 25$

Thus speed of train is 25 meter per second

laura bought a square canvas to paint a picture of her cat. one side measures 22 centimeters. what is the area of canvas.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

If we know that Laura's canvas is square, and one side is 22cm,

area of a square is l*w, with a special case of l=w

the area will be
A= l*w=22*22=484cm^2

also, Asquare is=l^2

Lily went shopping with alan. lily spent $11.20 for 3.60 kg flour and 1 kg sugar. alan spent $20 for 5 kg flour and 2.50 kg suga

Anna007 [38]

Or 1 kilogram = 2 pounds 3 ounces. To change from KILOGRAMS TO POUNDS we can multiply by 2.2. So is we have a 2kg bag of flour and we want to know what this is in pounds we can work it out like this: 2kg = 2 x 2.2lbs = 4.4lbs. A. Try these. 1) 3kg = lbs. 2) 6kg = lbs. 3) 7kg = lbs. 4) 12kg = lbs. 5) 14kg = lbs. 6(
