The base of a cone is a circle.
The area of a circle is

.
Thus, the area of the base of a cone

.
The derivation of the formula for the area of a circle involves a bit of calculus, but if you'd like, I can walk you through it.
Answer:
Erik's average speed exceeds the speed limit by 6.91 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let suppose that Erik travels at constant speed. Hence, the speed (
), measured in miles per hour, is determined by following equation of motion:
(1)
Where:
- Distance, measured in miles.
- Time, measured in hours.
Please notice that a hour equals 60 minutes. If we know that
and
, then the speed of Erik is:


Which is 6.91 miles per hour above the speed limit.

Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2
2(x - 2) = 2x - 4
-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12
Simplify. Combine like terms
2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12
2x - 4 = -2x + 12
Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides
2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)
2x + 2x = 12 + 4
Simplify
4x = 16
Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
4 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
