Answer:

The time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first plane in positive direction, = 40 mph

speed of the second plane in negative direction(opposite direction) = -100 mph

distance between the two planes = 200 miles

Let the time the two planes will meet = t

the position of the first plane at this time "t" = 40t

the position of the second plane at this time "t" = -100t

(40t)>--------------------------------<(-100t), this space between them is 200 miles.

Thus, the difference in the distance they traveled before meeting should be equal to 200 miles.

40t - (-100t) = 200

40t + 100t = 200

140t = 200

t = 200 / 140

t = 1.43 hours

Therefore, the time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

A cylinder has a height of 4 meters and a radius of 1.5 meters. What is the approximate radius of a sphere that has the same sur
Mama L [17]

If the surface area of the cylinder is 12π square meters. Then the radius of the sphere will be 1.7 meters.

<h3>What is a cylinder?</h3>

A cylinder is a closed solid that has two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.

A cylinder has a height of 4 meters and a radius of 1.5 meters.

Then the approximate radius of a sphere that has the same surface area as the cylinder.

We know that the Surface area of the cylinder will be is given as

Surface area = 2πrh

Surface area = 2 x π x 1.5 x 4

Surface area = 12π square meters

Then we have

Surface area of sphere = surface area of cylinder

                              4πr² = 12π

                                  r² = 3

                                   r = 1.7 meters

More about the cylinder link is given below.

Why do some numerical expressions contain parentheses
Elden [556K]

The most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

<h3>What are parentheses?</h3>

In mathematics, parenthesis is used to arrange numbers in the sequence of operations, clarify numbers, and denote multiplication.

Suppose you have an expression as:-

E = { ( 5-2 )8} 6

In this case, you would calculate 5 minus 2 first (parentheses), then multiply by 8 (brackets), then complete the part inside the curly braces, and finally multiply by 6.

Therefore the most basic and common reason to use parentheses, brackets, and braces is to control the order of operations.

To know more about parentheses follow
