I would say that c is not equal to 1/343
Answer:
the area of a trapezoid is equal to half the product of the height and the sum of the two bases. Area = ½ x (Sum of parallel sides) x (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides).
Answer: 460.6 miles South of Chicago
Explanation:
1) <span>The City of New Orleans leaves Union Station in Chicago at 6:00 am and
travels south to New Orleans. The train travels the 930.0 miles to New Orleans at an average speed of 79.0 miles per hour.
Scheme:
→to south ←to north
|----------------------|---------------------|
A x X 930.0 - x B
6:00 am 6:00 am
→ ←
v = 79.0 mi/h v = 81.1 mi/h
=> x = 79.0 mi/h * t
2) at the same time the City of Chicago leaves New Orleans and travels north to Nhicago. The
train travels the 930.0 miles to Chicago at an average speed of 81.1
miles per hour.
930.0 - x = 81.1 mi/h * t
3) How many miles south of chicago do the two trains pass
each other?
Divide the two equations:
930.0 - x 81.1*t
------------- = ----------
x 79*t
t cancels out =>
930.0 - x 81.1
------------- = --------
x 79.0
Solve:
81.1x = 79.0(930.0 - x)
81.1x = 79.0 * 930.0 - 79.0x
81.1x + 79.0x = 73,470
=> 160.1x = 73,470
=> x = 73,470 / 160.1
=> x = 460.6 mi
4) Answer 460.6 miles South of Chicago.

This can be solved by finding their point of intersection on the graph, which is at point (1,3).
