Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

A=640.88

Step-by-step explanation:

if the diameter is 12, the radius , r=12/2=6

we have r=6, h=11

Surface area, A= 2πrh+2π r^2

A=2*3.14*6*11+2*3.14*(6)^2=640.88
