Answer: 1st train = 364 mph, 2nd train = 356.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Train 1: x + 7.8

Train 2: x

Train 1 + Train 2 = Sum

x + 7.8 + x = 720.2

7.8 + 2x = 720.2

2x = 712.4

x = 356.2

Train 1: x + 7.8

= 356.2 + 7.8

= 364

URGENT!!! Can someone help me with this? It’s volume of cones!!!

LiRa [457]

Answer:

1232 m^3 to nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone = 1/3 π r^2 h where r = radius of base and h = height.

The radius of the base = 1/2 * 14 = 7m.

The height can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem:

25^2 = h^2 + 7^2

h^2 = 625 - 49 = 576

h = √576 = 24m

So the volume = 1/3 π * 7^2 * 24

= 1231.504 m^3.

A motorcycle travels north along

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

42 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

From 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. 4 hours passed, so the truck and the motorcycle were on the road for 4 hours until they met.

Motorcycle in 4 hours at a constant speed of 45 mph travelled

$45\cdot 4=180\ miles$

The distance between the motorcycle and the truck is 348 miles, so the truck travelled

$348 -180=168\ miles$

If x mph is truck's speed, then

$168=4\cdot x\\ \\x=\dfrac{168}{4}=42\ mph$
