We are given
△ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8
Firstly, we will find all angles and sides
Calculation of angle B:
we know that sum of all angles is 180
m∠A+ m∠B+m∠C=180
we can plug values
60°+ m∠B+45°=180
m∠B=75°
Calculation of BC:
we can use law of sines
now, we can plug values
Calculation of AC:
now, we can plug values
Perimeter:
we can plug values
Area:
we can use formula
now, we can plug values

Let's say that the speed of the freight train is and the one of the passenger train is
.
MPH means every hour the freight train covers
miles., which means in 3h it will have covered 3 times as much:
mi.
Following the same logic, MPH means every hour the passenger train covers
miles, meaning after 3h it will have covered 3 times as much as well:
mi.
Now, having expressed those distances and speeds algebraically, we find the difference between the two distances covered after 3h, knowing it will be equal to 240:
Knowing this, we can surely affirm that the freight train is travelling at 40MPH and the passenger train is travelling three times as fast, 120MPH.
The discriminant is
which is 0.
Since the discriminant is 0, there is only one real solution.
