Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 4 h, and Car B traveled the dista

nce in 4.5 h. Car B traveled 5 mph slower than Car A. (The formula R⋅T=D , where R is the rate of speed, T is the time, and D is the distance can be used.) How fast did Car B travel? Enter your answer in the box.

Let x denote the speed of car B, which is 5 mph less than car A's speed. Thus, car A travels at a rate of x + 5 mph. To find the distances, we apply the formula RT = D. Hence, the distance for car A is 4(x + 5) and for car B, it is 4.5x. As both cars covered the same distance, this leads to the equation 4(x + 5) = 4.5x. Rearranging gives us 4x + 20 = 4.5x. This simplifies to 0.5x = 20, resulting in x = 40. Therefore, car B's speed is 40 mph.

Two concentric circles with radii of 19 and 29 units bound a shaded region. A third circle will be drawn with area equal to that
zzz [12365]
The expression is 4*sqrt(30). Work Shown: Let's define circles P and Q with P representing the area of the circle with a radius of 19 and Q for a radius of 29. By using A = π*r², P calculates to 361π and Q to 841π. The resultant shaded area between circles P and Q is R = Q - P, which amounts to 480π. To ascertain the radius of a new circle S that would equal this area, we simplify R = 480π to find r = sqrt(480) leading us to r = 4*sqrt(30).

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.
lawyer [12517]
The formula for the volume of a sphere can be derived as follows. We will approach this through calculus, utilizing the concept of a solid of revolution; this is a three-dimensional shape formed by rotating a two-dimensional curve around a straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies within the same plane. From calculus, we know that we will generate a shape by rotating the specified circumference. Next, we isolate y and utilize certain limits for this integral.
