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

Answer:

a) x = 128 degrees

b) Angle APD is the arc angle, which is equal to the central angle x subtended by the arc.  Therefore angle APD = 128 degrees (and not 116 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

attached diagram

ABC is a straight line

Solution:

a) Find x

ABC is a straight line

angle ABD = supplement of CBD = 180-CBD = 180-116 = 64 degrees.

x is the central angle of the arc APD

so angle ABD is the inscribed angle which equals half of the arc angle =>

angle ABD = x/2 = 64 degrees

Solve for x

x/2 = 64

x = 2*64

x = 128 degrees

b.

Angle APD is the arc angle, which is equal to the central angle x subtended by the arc.  Therefore angle APD = 128 degrees (and not 116 degrees)
