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.

non working population is a burden on working population explain why might you agree and disagree with the statement
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Indeed, non working population is an unfair burden on working population. This is so because the unemployed population, in general, tends to receive assistance from the government, which in turn is financed through taxes that are collected from those who do work. Thus, there is a kind of arbitrary redistribution of income that damages workers in favor of those who do not work.
