<u>Answer:</u>

It will take 2 hours 36 minutes for the two trains to meet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The distance between the two trains is decreasing by 95+115= 210miles per hour, which can be written as \frac{210 miles}{1 hour}.

So at this rate, the distance between the trains will be reduced to zero in:

\frac{546 miles}{\frac{210 miles}{1 hour} } = 476 miles * \frac{1 hour}{210 miles}

= \frac{546}{210} = 2.6 hours

Changing 2.6 hours to hours and minutes:

2 hours + 0.6 hours = 2 hours + (0.6 * 60) = 2 hours + 36 minutes

Therefore, it will take 2 hours 36 minutes for the two trains to meet.

Determine the equation of the graph and select the correct answer (-4,-1)
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(-4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the graph is the one shown in the attachment.

The forward sloping line has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 3.

The equation of this line is y=x+3

The horizontal line has a slope of 0 and y-intercept of -1.

It's equation is y=-1

The two lines intersect at (-4,-1)

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 100m away is 45 degrees. What is the height of the tower to the neares
OLEGan [10]
<h3>Answer: 100 meters</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.

Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

---------

You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(45) = 100/x

1 = 100/x

1*x = 100

x = 100

In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.
