The length of a Train A is 480 m and it takes 2 minutes to cross a tunnel of length 1,320 m. The length of a Train B, which is s

lower than Train A, is 420 m. Both the trains start at the same time from the opposite directions. If the difference between their speeds is 18 km/h, find the time they take to cross each other. (Enter only the number)

Answer: 52.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of train A = 480m

Tunnel length = 1320m

Time taken to cross tunnel = 2 mins = 120sec

Length of train B = 420m

Train B is slower than train A

Difference between their speed = 18km/hr

18km/hr = (18×1000)/3600 = 5m/s

Speed of train A :

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1320 / 120 = 11m/s

Therefore, speed of train B :

(11 - 5)m/s = 6m/s

Relative speed of the two trains is therefore;

(Speed of A + speed of B)

Note : they are moving in opposite direction

( 11 + 6)m/s = 17m/s

Therefore time taken to cross each other :

(Sum of the length of both trains / relative speed of the trains)

Time taken = (480m + 420m) / (17m/s)

Time taken = 900m / 17m/s

Time taken = 52.94s

Do 8feet + 10feet + 12feet make a right triangle
bija089 [108]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 no

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangle side lengths are an arithmetic sequence (have a common difference), they must have the ratios 3:4:5 to make a right triangle. Here, the ratios of the side lengths are 4:5:6, so will not be a right triangle.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: Stacey now bakes 36 cinnamon bagels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Each morning, Stacey makes 20 cinnamon bagels.

She has increased the number she bakes each morning by 80%.

Number of cinnamon bagels Stacey bake = 20+80% of  20

= 20+ (0.80)x 20           [To remove % , divide number by 100, So 80%=0.08]

= 20+16   [(0.80)x 20=16 ]

= 36

Hence, Stacey now bakes 36 cinnamon bagels.
