Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.

120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min

The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...

(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi

They were warned when two miles apart.

Answer:

<em>m<ZXY - m<WXZ   = m<WXY   </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

point Z is in the interior of <WXY creating XZ.

<em>if m<WXZ = 20 </em>

<em>  m<WXY = 100 </em>

find:

what would equation would you set up to find the missing angle measure?

solution:

<em>Since Z is interior of <WXY </em>

<em> m<ZXY - m<WXZ   = m<WXY </em>

<em><WXY =  100  - 20  = 80° </em>

therefore, the equation would be  <em>m<ZXY - m<WXZ   = m<WXY  </em>

Step 2: Simplify the left side of the above equation using Logarithmic Rule 3:

displaymath123

Step 3: Simplify the left side of the above equation: Since Ln(e)=1, the equation reads

displaymath127

Ln(80) is the exact answer and x=4.38202663467 is an approximate answer because we have rounded the value of Ln(80)..

Check: Check your answer in the original equation.
