Two cars left the city for a suburb, 120 km away, at the same time. The speed of one of the cars was 20 km/hour greater than the

speed of the other, and that is why it arrived at the suburb 1 hour before the other car. Find the speeds of both cars.

Answer:

V1 = 60 km/h

V2 = 40 Km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of an object is defined as

Speed =  distance / time

Let

V1 be the speed of the faster car

V2 be the speed of the other car

t1 the time it took for the first car to arrive

t2 the time it took for the second car to arrive

d1 the distance traveled by first car

d2 the distance traveled by second car

We know thanks to the problem that

V1 = V2 + 20 Km/h

t1 = t2 - 1 hour

d1 = d2 = 120 Km

d1 = V1 * t1

d2 = V2* t2

V1 * t1 = V2* t2

V1* t1 = (V1 -20)*(t1 +1)

The system of equations

(V1 -20)*(t1 +1) = 120

V1 * t1 = 120

120 + (120/t1) -20*t1 = 140

(120/t1) -20*t1  = 20

Which gives,

t1 = 2

This means

V1 = 60 km/h

V2 = V1 - 20 Km/h =  40 Km/h

Which is the area of a circle with circumference of 15.7 units?( Use 3.14 for )
damaskus [11]
A = π(r²) --- r is radius

C = πd --- d is diameter

First, the circumference must be found. If the circumference is 15.7, plug it in.

15.7 = πd

We know what pi is.

15.7 = 3.14 (d)

Now, simply divide 3.14 by 15.7 to find the diameter (d). You get 5. Since the radius is half of the diameter, the radius is 2.5. Plug this into the area formula, and plug pi in, too.

A = 3.14(2.5²) 

2.5 to the second power is 6.25.

A = 3.14(6.25)

Tada! Multiply, and you're left with 19.625!

If anyone knows this I will give them brainiest

Answer:

x = 12

m(QS) = 52°

m(PD) = 152°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: Angle formed by two secants outside a circle = ½(the difference of the intercepted arcs)

Thus:

m<R = ½[m(PD) - m(QS)]

50° = ½[(12x + 8) - (4x + 4)] => substitution

Solve for x

Multiply both sides by 2

2*50 = (12x + 8) - (4x + 4)

100 = (12x + 8) - (4x + 4)

100 = 12x + 8 - 4x - 4 (distributive property)

Add like terms

100 = 8x + 4

100 - 4 = 8x

96 = 8x

96/8 = x

12 = x

x = 12

✔️m(QS) = 4x + 4 = 4(12) + 4 = 52°

✔️m(PD) = 12x + 8 = 12(12) + 8 = 152°
