A train leaves Miami at 3:00pm. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 5:00pm. The second train travels 50

mph faster than the first. If the second train overtakes the first at 7:00pm, what is the speed of each of the two trains.

Let the speed of the first train be v mph. Then the speed of the second train is:
(v + 50) mph.
Distance traveled by the first train from 3pm to 7pm = 4v miles.
The second train travels 4v miles in 2 hours (from 5pm to 7pm). Therefore the speed of the second train = (4v)/2 = 2v.
However the speed of the second train is also given by (v + 50) mph.
v + 50 = 2v
v = 50.
The speed of the first train is 50 mph and the speed of the second train is 100 mph.

Since they are right triangles use Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.

a.  12^2 + b^2 = 13^2
144 + b^2 = 169
subtract 144 from both sides
b^2 = 25
take the square root of both sides
t = 5  This is also know as a Pythagorean Triple 5-12-13

b.  a^2 + 9^2 = 12^2
     a^2 + 81 = 144
subtract 81 from both sides
a^2 = 63
take the square root of both sides
a = √63
a = √(9 * 7)
a = 3√7

c.   6^2 + 9^2 = c^2
    36 + 81 = c^2
117 = c^2
take the square root of each side
c = √117
c = √(9*13)
x = 3√13

HELP!!!! PLEASE need help now its an emergency.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

121,6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the only difference between the triangles are the letters and a few missing numbers, just replace the letters to get your answer. A and D are the same B and E are the same and C and F are the same. So the measurement of angle A is 121 degrees and the length of AB is 6
