From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi

The speed of one train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one

Let the Speed of first train is x

Speed of second train is x+ 10

Time = 5 hours

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first train = x * 5= 5x

Distance traveled by second  train = (x+10) * 5= 5x + 50

the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart.

the distance between A  and B is 1020 mi, Distance traveled by two trains = 1020 - 170 = 850 miles

Distance traveled by first train + second train = 850

5x + 5x + 50 = 850

10x + 50 = 850

Subtract both sides by 50

10x = 800

x= 80

Speed of first train is 80 miles per hour

Speed of second train is 90 miles per hour

WXY = XYW ( = 41 ) ⇒  XYW is a isosceles triangle

⇒ XW = YW

⇒ 54 = 6x + 6

⇒ 6( x + 1 ) = 54

⇒ x + 1 = 9

⇒ x = 8

ok done. Thank to me :>

two sides of a triangle have the same length. the third side measures 6 m less than twice the common length. the perimeter of th
Y_Kistochka [10]

Let x be the length of the two sides that are the same.

Then the third side would be 2x -3.

The perimeter of the triangle will come from adding all of the sides together and setting it equal to the value given, 13.

That is,

x + x + (2x - 3) = 13

-- > 4x - 3 =13

-- > 4x = 16

-- > x = 4.

As for the answer, the question was cut short, but with x=4,,

the length of each of the common sides is 4, making the third side 5, to get a total perimeter of 13.

<h3>What are two sides of a triangle?</h3>

The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is its longest side, the base is its lower side, and the perpendicular, which stands next to the right angle, is its standing line.

You may determine the sides of a right-angled triangle using a number of techniques, such as the Pythagoras theorem or the triangle's perimeter.
