Answer:

  5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s

That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.

The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.

It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet. Please help
Luda [366]

Answer:

The set of natural numbers is the set of all positive integers, then this set is:

{1, 2, 3, ...}

and the 24th letter of the alphabet is x

Now we want to write the expression given in the sentence "It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

We can "break" this in parts, so it is easier to understand.

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers..."

is:

1 + 2 + 3

Then:

"...the sum of the first 3 natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This can be written as:

(1 + 2 + 3) + x

Now we can analyze the complete sentence:

"It is one more than the sum of the first three natural numbers, followed by the 24th letter of the alphabet"

This is equal to the expression we found above plus one, then we can write this as:

[(1 + 2 + 3) + x] + 1

[6 + x] + 1

6 + x + 1

7 + x

Which similarity statement is true?
stepan [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  ΔWZY ~ ΔWXZ ~ ΔZXY

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the similarity statement to be correct, the corresponding sides need to be listed in the same order.

A: ΔWZY lists sides in order short leg (WZ), long leg (ZY).

  ΔWXZ lists sides in order short leg (WX), long leg (XZ).

  ΔZXY lists sides in order short leg (ZX), long leg (XY).

The first similarity statement is correct.

__

You can compare this to an incorrect one, the last one, for example.

ΔYZW lists sides in order long leg (YZ), short leg (ZW).

ΔXZW lists sides in order long leg (XZ), hypotenuse (ZW). Hypotenuse and short leg are not corresponding sides, so the similarity statement is incorrect.
