recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

A 20-sided regular polygon has an angle measure represented as 3gº.
Andre45 [30]

The value of g in the 20 sided regular polygon is 54.

<h3>How to find the angles of a regular polygon?</h3>

If all the polygon sides and interior angles are equal, then they are known as regular polygons.

The polygon given is a 20 sided regular polygon and the measure of each angle is 3g degrees.

Therefore, let's find g.

The sum of interior angles of a 20 sided polygon is as follows:

180(n - 2) = 180(20 - 2) = 180(18) = 3240

Therefore,

each angle = 3240 / 20 = 162

Hence,

162 = 3g

g = 162 / 3

Therefore,

g = 54
