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.

3w + 2 = 7w Please help
mash [69]
3w +2 =7w
-3w       -3w
2=4w
Divide each side by 4
1/2=w

Check your answer:
3 (1/2) + 2 = 7 (1/2)
(3/2) + (4/2) = (7/2)
(7/2) = (7/2)

Hope this helps.

The volume of a pyramid varies jointly as the height and the area of the base. If a pyramid has the measurements V=1144
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

  • 11040 m³
  • k ≈ 0.33
  • V = (1/3)Bh

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relation is ...

  V = kBh . . . . . for some base area B, height h, and constant of variation k

We are given length and width of the base so we presume it is a rectangle.

  B = l·w = 8·11 = 88 . . . . square meters

The given volume tells us the value of k:

  1144 = k(88)(39) . . . . . . cubic meters

  1144/3432 = k = 1/3 ≈ 0.33

The value of k is about 0.33.

__

Then the volume of the larger pyramid is ...

  V = (1/3)(15 m)(46 m)(48 m) = 11,040 m³

The general relationship is ...

  V = 1/3Bh
