Answer:

Both trains meet at 10 am.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Find the time Los Angeles bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 80 mph

Distance = 400

Time = T1

Train leaves at 9 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/80

Time = 5 hours

<em>Step 2: Find the time Sacramento bound train takes to travel 400 miles</em>

Speed = 60 mph

Distance = 400 miles

Time = T2

Train leaves at 7 am

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 400/60

Time = 6.67 hours

<em>Step 3: Calculate the time when both trains will meet</em>

<u>Los Angeles bound train</u>

Leaves at 9 am

1 hour at 10 am

2 hours at 11 am

3 hours at 12 pm

4 hours at 1 pm

5 hours at 2 pm (reaches destination)

<u>Sacramento bound train</u>

Leaves at 7 am

1 hour at 8 am

2 hours at 9 am

3 hours at 10 am

4 hours at 11 am

5 hours at 12 pm

6 hours at 1 pm

7 hours at 2 pm

Both trains will meet at 10 am where the Los Angeles bound train reaches in 1 hour and the Sacramento bound train reaches in 3 hours.

Given that ∠A and ∠B are supplementary, Daisy conjectured that ∠A≅∠B .
dexar [7]
When two angles are supplementary, that means that the sum of their individual angles is equal to a straight line, which is 180°. If you add another restriction where the two supplementary angles are equal, then each vale of the angle constitutes half of 180°. Then, that means that ∠A = ∠B = 90°. The answer is C.

A department store sells small boxes in which customers can store potpourri. The diagram below shows one of the boxes. The diagr
larisa86 [58]
The lateral area is expressed as the product of the perimeter of the base and the height. While the surface area is the sum of all areas. The lateral area and the surface area of the box is calculated as follows:

LA = Ph 
P = 2l + 2w = (2 x 17) + (2 x 5) = 44 cm
LA = 44 cm x 3.12 cm = 137.28 cm

SA = 2(lw + wh + lh)
SA = 2[(17x5) + (5x3.12) + (17x3.12)]
SA = 307.28 cm

Thus, the lateral area and the surface area are 137 cm and 307 cm, respectively.
