A 1939 Ford heads out of town traveling at 40 mph. Three hours later a 1957 Chevy follows traveling at 70 mph. How long will it

take for the Chevy to overtake the Ford?

4 hours

using the formula

distance = speed × time (t)

the Ford will have travelled 3 × 40 = 120 miles before the Chevy leaves

the Ford's distance can be modelled as

distance = 40t + 120

the Chevy's distance can be modelled as

distance = 70t

equating the right sides and solve for t

70 t = 40t + 120 ( subtract 40t from both sides )

30t = 120 ( divide both sides by 30 )

t = 4

the Chevy catches up with the Ford after 4 hours

Svetllana [295]
Draw a picture of a building and a one mile (or 5280 feet) distance to a point from the base of the building. 

The angle of elevation is given as 11° and we want the height of the building or x. 

tan(11°) = x/5280 

5280 tan(11°) = x 

1026.3 feet = x

. A building in the shape of a rectangular prism needs to be painted. Some facts about the building are shown below. The buildin
Softa [21]

Answer:

(2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50) - (4)(60)(5²)

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral faces of the building are the 4 sides of the building consisting:

2 rectangles of 120 ft by 80 ft

Area of the two rectangular faces = (2)(120)(80)

And

2 rectangles of 120 ft by 50 ft

Area of the two rectangular faces = (2)(120)(50)

✔️Total lateral surface area of the building = (2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50)

Note: we are asked to find the expression that represents the total surface area that needs to be painted given that there are 60 windows on each lateral face of the building of the shape of a square with side lengths of 5 ft.

Therefore, the total lateral surface area of the building that will be painted = total lateral surface of the building - total area covered by the 60 windows on each face of the building

Surface area covered by 60 windows in the 4 lateral face of the building = (4)(60)(5²)

✅total lateral surface area of the building that will be painted = (2)(120)(80) + (2)(120)(50) - (4)(60)(5²)

Find the values of a and b so that the solution of the linear system is (-9,1).
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we can write -9 instead of x and y=1 instead of 1

so we write solution again

-9a+1b=-31

-9a-1b=-41

-18a=-72

a=4

we should write 4 instead of a

-9(4)+1b=-31

-36+b=-31

b=5

a=4
