Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 mile * 5280 feet/mile = 440 feet per train

50 miles/hour * 1/3600 hr/sec * 5280 ft/mile = 73 1/3 ft/second

one train has to travel 440 feet to pass the other train

440 feet * 1/(73 1/3) sec/ft = 6 seconds

Write 11•47 using the distributive property. Then simplify.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Distributive property :

a (b+c) = ab + bc

Try writing 47 = 50-3  or 47 = 40+7.

11 x 47 = 11 x (50-3) = 11 x 50 - 11 x 3 = 550 - 33 =  517

or 

11 x 47 =  11 x (40+7) = 11 x 40 + 11 x 7 = 440 + 77 = 517

Find the missing length indicated. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1). x = 81

2). x = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

1). By applying geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

   \frac{x}{18\sqrt{14}}= \frac{18\sqrt{14}}{56}

   56x = (18√14)²

   56x = 4536

   x = \frac{4536}{56}

   x = 81

2). By applying geometric mean theorem,

    \frac{x}{8\sqrt{21}}= \frac{8\sqrt{21} }{16}

    16x = (8√21)²

    16x = 1344

    x = \frac{1344}{16}

   x = 84

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point(3,-8)and has a slope of 0?
hram777 [196]

Answer: y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the slope is zero that means that the line does not go up (or have any rise) and therefore must be a horizontal line. Since it passes through the point (3,-8), the equation has to be y=-8.
