Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles

Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that

X^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where ^ stands for raised to power.

Let

a stand for the train going towards North and

b stands for the train going towards east.

X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.

By Pythagoras rule

X^2 = a^2 + b^2

20^2 = 16^2 + b^2

400 = 256 + b^2 so that

b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144

b = √144

b = 12 miles.

liq [111]

Answer:

landslide

Explanation:

This question is related to a picture. In the picture you can see that a small town was affected by a landslide located near a steep hill. As the statement reads, it can be a destructive process as not only is the countryside affected by removal of the top earth layer along with all the vegetation in that area, consequence of heavy rainfall or a mayor earthquake or shift in landmass, but it also turns into a constructive process as at the bottom of the hill, where the landslide or mud accumulates, the debris forms a new layer over the old and it is then seen as constructive.
