Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 18 mi/h faster than the other. If

Answer:

The distance each bus travels is given as d=tr where

- d is distance bus travels

- t is a time bus travels

- r is the speed of the bus

:

Distance first bus travels for 4 hours is d1=4r.

Distance other bus travels for 4 hours is d2=4(r+12).

:

The total distance between them is 480 miles and since they go in opposite directions this distance is the sum of distances each bus travels.

:

d1+d2=480

4r+4(r+12)=480

4r+4r+48=480

8r+48=480

8r=432

r=432/8

r=54 mph, this is a speed of the first bus

:

r+12=66 mph, this is the speed of the second bus

Hope this helps you!!!! :D

Question 1
12345 [234]

Answer:

A). Surface area = 222 cm²

Volume = 180 cm³

B). Surface area = 375 cm²

Volume = 360 cm³

C). % increase in surface area = 67.57%

% increase in volume = 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached base of a prism has been given.

A). Surface area of the prism = (Perimeter of the base of the prism) × height + 2(area of the base)

Perimeter of the base = 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8

                                       = 30

Area of the base = 8×5 - 2×2 = 36 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 30×5 + 2×(36)= 222 cm²

Volume of the prism = volume of the bigger prism - volume of the smaller prism cut off

                                  = 8×5×5 - 2×2×5

                                  = 200 - 20

                                  = 180 cm³

B). Surface area of the prism if it's height is 10 cm,

Surface area = 30×10 + 2×(36) = 372 cm²

Volume of the prism = 8×5×10 - 2×2×10

                                   = 400 - 40

                                   = 360 cm³                                      

C). Increase in surface area = 372 - 222 = 150 cm²

% increase in the surface area = \frac{150}{222}\times 100 = 67.57%

Increase in volume = 360 - 180 = 180 cm³

% increase in volume = \frac{180}{180}\times 100 = 100%

Seattle, Washington is known for being very rainy. One day last month, 8 inches of rain fell in 1 1/2 hours. What is the rate of
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

0.44ft/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of rainfall  = 8inches

            1ft  = 12inches

   so;

            \frac{8}{12}   = 0.67ft

Time  = \frac{3}{2}hr

Unknown:

Rate of rainfall expressed in ft/hr  = ?

Solution:

The rate of the rainfall is given as;

    Rate  = \frac{Quantity}{time}  

  Rate  = \frac{0.67ft}{\frac{3}{2} }    = 0.44ft/hr

"In the diagram, m = 128° and m = 76°. What is mABC?
wel
Angle ABC is an inscribed angle.

Inscribed angle = 1/2 * Intercepted Arc

The intercepted arc is arc CD + arc DA, which would be 128 + 76 = 204

m<ABC = 1/2(204)

m<ABC = 102 degrees

You answer is D) 102
