Train A and train B leave a central station at the same time. They travel the same speed, but in opposite directions, with train

A heading towards station A, and train B heading towards station B. Train A reaches station A after 4 h. Train B reaches station B after 312 h. Station A and Station B are 562.5 mi apart.

Answer: speed = 585/(13/2) = 90 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:speed = distance / time

since they are moving in opposite direction, the time is the sum of the two times = 2 1/2 + 4 = 6 1/2 = 13/2

Divide the total distance by 2, to get the miles each train traveled.

562.5 / 2 = 281.25 miles.

Train A traveled for 4 hours:

281.25 miles / 4 hours = 70.3125 miles per hour.

Train B traveled for 3 1/2 hours:

281.25 miles / 3 1/2 hours = 80.357 miles per hour.

Round the speed of each train as needed.

what is the value of x in the diagram below? if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a until
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC

AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence

AC = \sqrt{256} = 16

Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD

ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²

ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²

Equate both equations for AD², hence

256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²

-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )

- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )

40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 7.2 → C

Erin created a scale drawing for a garden that will be 10 ft by 5 ft. She plans to include a section in the garden for herbs, wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the garden in the actual are 10 ft by 5 ft

The dimensions of the garden on the scale drawing are 12 in. by 6 in

step 1

Find the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the corresponding side on the scale drawing by the corresponding side in the actual

so

\frac{12}{10}\ \frac{in}{ft}

simplify

1.2\ \frac{in}{ft}

That means

1.2 inches in the drawing represent 1 foot in the actual

step 2

Find out  the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing

we know that

The dimensions of the herb garden in the actual are 2 ft by 5 ft

Multiply by the scale factor

so

2\ ft=2(1.2)=2.4\ in

5\ ft=5(1.2)=6\ in

therefore

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in
