Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train
:
:
Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600

X + 2x = 600/4
x = 50
so one train is traveling 50 miles per hour
and the other is 100 miles per hour

Compare and contrast the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors of a triangle. How are they alike? How are they different?
AleksandrR [38]

<span>1 perpendicular bisector divides 1 side of the triangle into two equal lengths at a 90 degree angle. So if there's is three perpendicular bisectors, then it splits all three sides the triangles into equal lengths.

Angle bisectors splits an angle of a triangle into two even degrees.  
 </span>

<span>
</span>

<span>EX: if it is an equilateral triangle, each angle will be sixty degrees. Therefore, ONE angle bisector will split ONE of the angles into even degrees of thirty degrees. </span>
