Answer:

Speed of the plane in still air: 779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

Windspeed: 100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that x\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} is the speed of the plane in still air, and that y\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} is the speed of the wind.

  • When the plane is travelling against wind, the ground speed of this plane (speed of the plane relative to the ground) would be (x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.
  • When this plane is travelling in the same direction as the wind, the ground speed of this plane would be (x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

The question states that when going against the wind (v = (x - y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}},) the plane travels 6111\; {\rm km} in 9\; {\rm h}. Hence, 9\, (x - y) = 6111.

Similarly, since the plane travels 7911\; {\rm km} in 9\; {\rm h} when travelling in the same direction as the wind (v = (x + y)\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}},) 9\, (x + y) = 7911.

Add the two equations to eliminate y. Subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate x. Solve this system of equations for x and y: x = 779 and y = 100.

Hence, the speed of this plane in still air would be 779\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}, whereas the speed of the wind would be 100\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}}.

What is the area of the composite figure
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a composite figure, separate it into the regular parts which make the irregular shape. This shape is composed of a semi-circle and a rectangle. Find the area by finding the area of each shape.

Semi-circle:

The semi-circle has a diameter of 2 + 4 + 2 = 8. The area this figure uses the radius which is half the diameter. The radius is 4. To find the area substitute r = 4 into \pi r^2 = \pi 4^2 = 16\pi. However the semi-circle has a smaller circle cut out of it with radius 2. The area of the smaller circle is \pir^2 = \pi 2^2=4\pi. The semi circle in the shape is the areas subtracted which equals 12π.

Rectangle:

The area of the rectangle is found using A = b*h = 2*5 = 10.

The total area is 12π + 10 meters squared.
