If

, then angle

is obtuse and triangle with sides a, b, c is obtuse triangle.
In an arbitrary triangle can be only one obtuse angle, and the side which lies opposite to the largest angle is the largest. Then since <span>angle

is opposite the side of length a</span> you can conclude that a>c and a>b.
The time taken by the first and the second train is 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes. Then the time when the second train at Niles junction is 5:55 p.m.
<h3>What is
speed?</h3>
The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.
We know that the speed formula

A train leaves Thorn junction at 1:25 p.m. and arrives in Niles at 3:05 p.m. the train makes two stops along the route for a total of 15 minutes.
A second train leaves Thorn junction at 4:30 p.m. and heads to Niles.
This train does not make any stops.
Let the speed of both trains be equal.
Then the time taken by the first train will be
t₁ = 3:05 p.m. - 1:25 p.m.
t₁ = 1 hour 40 minutes
Then the time taken by the second train will be
t₂ = 1:40 - 00:15
t₂ = 1:25 = 1 hour 25 minutes
The time when the second train is at Niles junction will be
→ 4:30 p.m. + 1:25
→ 5:55 p.m.

compound interest equation for annually compounded

A=final amount
P=principal
r=rate in decimal
t=time in years
given that
A=1550
P=1000
r=5.5%=0.055
find t

divide both sides by 1000

take ln of both sides

use ln rule 

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs
so about 8.2yrs
