Answer:
34.44 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance covered bty the two trains :
Distance = speed * time
Time = 30 minutes = 0.5hr
Distance of train 1 = 64 * 0.5 = 32 miles
Distance of train 2 = 52 * 0.5 = 26 miles
Included Angle = 72°
Using cosine rule :
a² = b² + c² - 2bcCosA
Let Distance between the trains after 30 minutes = a
a^2 = 32^2 + 26^2 - 2(32)(26) * Cos(72)
a^2 = 1700 - 514.20427
a^2 = 1185.7957
a = sqrt(1185.7957)
a = 34.435
a = 34.44 miles
Where is the method 1 and 2?
M midpoint of CD, given
MD = 3, given
MD = CM, def. of midpoint
CM = 3, substitution
