Answer:

  • 8 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Start time = 2 PM
  • Speed of the first train = 50 mph
  • Speed of the second train = 60 mph
  • Trains head same direction
  • The second train spends 3 hour less time than the first but both take same distance

<u>Let the time in travel for the first train be x, then we have equation for distance:</u>

  • 50x = 60(x - 3)
  • 50x = 60x - 180
  • 60x - 50x = 180
  • 10x = 180
  • x = 18 hours

<u>Time when the second train caches up the first one:</u>

  • 2 PM + 18 hours = 8 AM next day

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △LMN that is parallel to LN¯¯¯¯¯ ?
ycow [4]

The coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △LMN that is parallel to LN are (3, 4.5) and (3, 3).

Explanation:

Given that △LMN

We need to determine the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △LMN that is parallel to LN

The midsegment of the triangle parallel to side LN is the midsegment connecting the midpoint of side LM and the midpoint of side MN.

The midpoint of LM is given by

\left(\frac{0+6}{2}, \frac{5+4}{2}\right)

Simplifying, we get,

(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{9}{2} )=(3,4.5)

The midpoint of MN is given by

\left(\frac{0+6}{2}, \frac{2+1}{2}\right)=(3,3)

Thus, the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △LMN that is parallel to LN are (3, 4.5) and (3, 3).
