The answer to that problem is 25 I believe I’m not sure tho
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
According to the theory
b^2 = (13)^2 - (7)^2
b^2 = 169 - 49 = 120
b= root(120)
b= 10.95 cm
Answer: i am also looking for the answer so far i’ve gotten x=200 but it told me it was wrong feel free to try it i guess
