Answer:

<h2>After 36 seconds.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to this problem, we have to sum each period of time for each train, and see where they use the same time. Train A will return each 12 seconds and Train B will return each 9 seconds, this means that we have to build two sequences with this increasing numbers.

A       B

12      9

24     18

36     27

48     36

As you can observe in the sequences, after 36 seconds both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time. To reach such time equivalence, the train A has to make three laps, and train B hast to make 6 laps.

Therefore, the answer is "after 30 seconds".

hello again I need to find an equation to find the long side of the triangle. but this time only the hypotenuse is given. brainl
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Long = 10.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

hypotenuse = 12

long = ?

Process

1.- To find Long, we must use the trigonometric functions sine or cosine.

If we use sine, we use the 60° angle

If we use cosine, we use the 30° angle

a) sin 60 = long / hypotenuse

   Long = hypotenuse x sin 60

   Long = 12 x sin 60

   Long = 10.39

b) cos 30 = Long / hypotenuse

   Long = hypotenuse x cos 30

   Long = 12 x cos 30

  Long = 10.39
