The speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance travelled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • Mattie Evans drove 350 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel 1200 miles.
  • The speed of the plane was 170 mph faster than the speed of the car.

The speed of the plane will be calculated as:-

Let the speed of the car will be x mph so the speed of the plane will be

(x + 170)

Now time for the plane:-

Tp = Dp / Sp

Tp = 1200 / (x+170)

Now time for the car:-

Tc = Dc / Sc

Tc = 350 / x

It is given that time taken by both the plane and the car are equal:-

Tp  =  Tc

1200 / x+170 = 350 / x

1200x = 350x +  59500

850x  = 59500

x  =  59500 / 850

x  =  70mph

The speed of the plane will be calculated By:-

Sp = x + 170 = 70 + 170 = 240 Mph

Therefore the speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.

Please help me i dont know what the answer is ??
Assoli18 [71]
To answer this, we need to use the rules of geometric shapes. An equilateral triangle is equiangular, meaning all its angle measures are equal. Since all triangles' angles add up to 180°, simply divide 180 by three to find the angle measure of each angle:
\frac{180}{3} = 60
Therefore, the measure of the triangle's angle is 60°

Next, we know that a characteristic of a rectangle is that each angle must be a right angle, or an angle with a measure of 90°.

Now, all we have to do is use the sum of all the angle measures to figure out the missing piece:
90=x+60+12 \\ 90=x+72 \\ 90-72=(x+72)-72 \\ 18=x

The missing angle measure, angle x, equals 18°.

Hope this helps!

Hanna dose push ups in set of 3.She did 10 sets of push ups today.Then her coach asked her to do 15 more push ups.How many push
Travka [436]
45 because 1set equals 3 push ups and she did ten sets so 10sets equal 30 push ups and then her coach asked her to do 15 more so 30 plus 15 equals 45 so she did 45 push ups that day!
