Answer: rate of train A = 120 km/h

rate of train B = 101 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the speed of train A

Let y = the speed of train B

One train travels 19 km/h slower than the other. Let train B be the slower train. Therefore,

x = y + 19 - - - - - - - - - -1

Recall

Speed = distance/time

Distance = speed × time

If they meet in 3 hours, it means that train A has travelled a distance of

x × 3 = 3x km

And train B has travelled a distance of y × 3 = 3y km

Train A and Train B were 663 kilometers apart when they left their respective destinations. They left at the same time and travelled towards each other. This means that if they meet in 3hours time, they must have covered a total of 663 km. Therefore,

3x + 3y = 663 - - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting x = y + 19 into equation 2, it becomes

3(y + 19) + 3y = 663

3y + 57 + 3y = 663

6y + 57 = 663

6y = 663 - 57 = 606

y = 606/6 = 101 km/h

x = y + 19 = 101 + 19

x = 120 km/h

Svetllana [295]
To find the percentage of something, simply multiply the percentage (converted into a decimal) and the total. 60% = 0.6. 0.6*1.15 = 0.69. 
The markup is $0.69.
To find the retail price, add the markup to the wholesale cost. 0.69+1.15= 1.84. 
The retail price is $1.84. 
Hope that helped you.

Can someone help to find the missing angle measurements
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Angle 1 = 75°

Angle 2 = 55°

Angle 3 = 55°

Angle 4 = 40°

Angle 5 = 140°

Angle 6 = 40°

Angle 7 = 75°

Angle 8 = 65°

Angle 9 = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We start with angle 2

Angle 2

Angles on a straight line = 180°

Hence,

b + 125° = 180°

b = 180° - 125°

b = 55°

Angle 2 = 55°

2)Angle 1

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Hence

Let Angle 1 = a

50° + 55° + a = 180°

a = 180° - (50° + 55°)

a = 180° - 105°

a = 75°

3)Angle 3

Angle 2 and Angle 3 are vertical angles

So we use the Vertical angle theorem

This means

Angle 2 = Angle 3

Angle 2 = 55°

Hence, Angle 3 = 55°

4) Angle 4

Sum of Angles in a triangle = 180°

Let Angle 4 = d

Hence:

85° + Angle 3 + d = 180°

85° + 55° + d = 180°

d= 180° - (85° + 55°)

d = 180°- 140°

d = 40°

5)Angle 5

Angle 4 and Angle 5 are angles on a straight line

Sum of angles on a straight line = 180°

Angle 4 = 40°

Let Angle 5 = e

Hence:

40° + e = 180°

Collect like terms

e = 180° - 40°

e = 140°

6) Angle 6

Angle 4 and Angle 6 are vertical angles

Using Vertical angle theorem,

Angle 4 = Angle 6

Angle 4 = 40°

Hence, Angle 6 = 40°

7)Angle 9

Solving for Angle 9,

Sum of angles on a straight line = 180°

Angle 9 = i

i + 65° = 180°

i = 180° - 65°

i = 115°

8) Angle 8

= Angle 9 and Angle 8 are angles in a straight line

= Angle 8 = h

h + 115° = 180°

h = 180° - 115°

h = 65°

9)Angle 7

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Angle 7 = g

g = 180° - (65° + Angle 6)

= 180° - (65 + 40

= 180° - 105°

= 75°

(19) Geometry pls help
gogolik [260]
Yes it is possible to prove this is a parallelogram.

XN = NZ means the diagonal XZ has been bisected
The same goes for diagonal WY (because NY = NW)

Furthermore, we have the pair of vertical angles XNY and ZNW which are congruent

Through SAS, we can say that triangles XNY and ZNW are congruent

Using CPCTC, we can get to the fact that angle NWZ = angle NYX which are alternate interior angles leading to proving that XY || WZ

----------------------

If you repeat those steps above, but focus on triangles WNX and YNZ, we can prove that XW || YZ

----------------------

After proving that XY || WZ and XW || YZ, this is enough to prove we have a parallelogram as the opposite sides are parallel.
