Answer:

1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the westbound train = 55 miles/hr

Speed of the eastbound train = 75 miles/hr

Since the trains are moving in the opposite direction their relative speed becomes,

55 miles/hr +75 miles/hr=130 miles/hr.

Since, time = distance / speed

Now the time taken for the two trains to be 156 miles apart

time = \frac{156 miles}{130 miles/hr} \\=1.2 hours

Hence, the time taken for the two trains to be 156 miles apart = 1.2 hours

The time that taken for the two trains is 1.2 hours.

The computation of the time taken for the two trains is shown below:

Given that

The westbound train travels 55 miles per hour.

And, the eastbound train travels 75 miles per hour.

So, the total speed is

= 55 miles per hour + 75 miles per hour

= 130 miles per hour

The distance is 156 miles

So, the time taken is

= \frac{distance}{speed}\\\\= \frac{156\ miles}{130\  miles\ per\ hour}\\\\

= 1.2 hours

Therefore we can conclude that the time that taken for the two trains is 1.2 hours.

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
