Two trains travel a 160 km track each day. The express travels 10 km h^-1 faster and take 30 minutes less time than the normal t
rain. Find the speed of the express.
1 answer:
Let s = the speed of the slower train in km/hrs+10 = the speed of the faster train in km/hrLet t = time in hrs for the slower train to go 160 kmt-5 = time in hrs for faster train to go 160 km---------------Slower train:(1)
160=s.t
Faster train:(2) 160=(s+10) .(t-.5)From (1)(1) t=160/s
use the relations given in following screenshot and then use quadratic equation.
160=s.t
Faster train:(2) 160=(s+10) .(t-.5)From (1)(1) t=160/s
use the relations given in following screenshot and then use quadratic equation.

Steps:
1. Draw a line connecting the point to the center of the rectangle
2. Then construct a perpendicular bisector to the line drawn in step 1
3. Place the compass on the midpoint of the line, adjust its length to reach the end point, and draw an arc across the circle
4. Where the arc crosses the circle will be the tangent points. So connect the endpoint to the tangent point
