A nonstop train travels between Pearl River and Hoboken. On its trip south, traveling at a constant speed, it makes it from Pearl River to Hoboken in 1 hour and 6 minutes. On its return trip north, the train increases its speed by 10 miles per hour, and takes 42 minutes to reach Pearl River from Hoboken. What was the train's original speed (on its trip south) in miles per hour?

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

12

step-by-step explanation:

a triangle's   full angle is 180 degrees so 180 - 156 = 24. 24/2=12

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.
