The rate of the plane in still air is 870km/h and the rate of the wind 210km/h.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time.

Let Speed of airplane be x km/h and Speed of Wind be y km/h

Speed direction of wind (x+y)

Speed in opposition of wind (x-y)

Now, using speed x time= distance

7( x-y)=4620

(x-y)=4620/7

=660------------------(1)

Similarly,

8(x+y)=8640

(x+y) =8640/8=1080-----------------------(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

2x=1740

x=870 km/h

Subtracting (1) from (2)

2y=420

=>y=210 km/h

So rate of airplane =870km/h

rate of wind=210km/h

What is a positive angle less than 360 degrees that is conterminal with -289 degrees
wel

Answer:

The positive angle that less than 360° and is conterminal with -289° is 71°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When a terminal of an angle moves anticlockwise, then it makes a positive angle with the positive part of the x-axis
  • When a terminal of an angle moves clockwise, then it makes a negative angle with the positive part of the x-axis
  • To find the positive angle which has the same terminal of a negative angle add the measure of the negative angle by 360°

Let us solve the question

∵ The measure of the angle is -289°

→ Add its measure by 360° to find the positive angle that is conterminal

   with it

∵ The measure of the positive angle = -289° + 360°

∴ The measure of the positive angle = 71°

The positive angle that less than 360° and is conterminal with -289° is 71°
