Answer:

The first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train left Miami at 3:00 PM.

The second train left Miami at 8:00 PM.

Let the speed of the first train be x.

The second train travels 145 mph faster than the first, that is 145 + x

The second train overtakes the first at 10:00 PM

This means that at 10:00 PM, they were both at the same location.

That is 7 hours after the first train left and 2 hours after the second train left.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance traveled and t = time taken

For the first train, after 7 hours traveling at speed x:

x = d / 7

=> d = 7x _______(1)

For the second train, after 2 hours, traveling at speed 145 + x:

145 + x= d / 2

=> d = 290 + 2x ____(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7x = 290 + 2x

=> 7x - 2x = 290

5x = 290

=> x = 290/5 = 58 mph

Therefore, the first train travels at 58 mph and the second train travels at 203 mph (58 + 145)

Solve the following problems.<br> Find x, y
natta225 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

by using similarity and enlargement

10/8 = 7+y/7

70=56+8y

8y=14

y= 7/4

10/8 = 5+x/5

50=40+8x

x = 8/10 = 4/5

What are the measures of Angles a,b, and c? Show your work and explain your answers. Will marks best answer as Brainliest
Soloha48 [4]
Angle a is directly opposite from a 40 degree angle, so a=40. Then we can find b since the sum of the angles of all triangles is 180 and there is a right angle in there along with angle a:
180=90+40+b
b=50

Last, to find c we just notice that it is supplementary with an angle of measure 65, so:
c+65=180
c=115

So our angles are a=40, b=50, c=115.

Which is the solution to the equation solved for p? (q + p)q = (s + r)s
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

(q + p)q = (s + r)s

Lets open the brackets of L.H.S.

=> q^2 + pq = (s+ r)s

Lets substract q² from both the sides.

=> q^2 + pq - q^2 = (s + r)s - q^2

=> pq = (s + r)s - q^2

Lets divide both the sides by q.

=> \frac{pq}{q} = \frac{(s + r)s - q^2}{q}

=> p = \frac{(s + r)s }{q} - \frac{q^2}{q} = \frac{(s + r)s}{q} - q

Trigonometry (ASAP) (Urgent) ​
Olin [163]

Answer:

h = 1.403733341286

Step-by-step explanation:

17.

the triangle of sides ‘l’ and ‘l-h’ is a right angled triangle.

Then

\cos \theta =\frac{l-h}{l}

Then

l\cos \theta =l-h

Then

h=l-l\cos \theta

18.

For l = 6  and  θ = 40 :

h=l-l\cos \theta

  = 6-6cos(40)

  = 1.403733341286
