Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance to cover = 60 miles

Speed of Matilda = 12 miles per hour

Speed of Nancy = 8 miles per hour

Combined speed of Nancy and Matilda = 8+12 = 20 miles per hour

Let,

x be the time taken by them

Distance = Speed * Time

60=20*x\\60=20x\\20x=60

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{60}{20}\\x=3

Nancy and Matilda will meet in 3 hours.

Keywords: distance, speed

1 & 2) what are the surface areas? please explain.
mote1985 [20]
To find the surface area of a cylinder, use the formula SA = 2(pi)(radius^2) + 2(pi)(radius)(height).

So now, plug in what you know.

SA = 2(3.14)(5^2) + 2(3.14)(5)(9)
SA = (6.28)(25) + (6.28)(45)
SA = 157 + 282.6
SA = 439.6 square cm

439.6 square cm is your surface area
