This happens because the trucks move in one-dimension, while the airplanes move in 3 dimensions.

<h3></h3><h3>Why the trucks need to change direction or speed while the airplanes don't?</h3>

Well, the trucks move along a street. Thus, we can think that this is an one-dimensional kind of motion.

Where the trucks can go forward, backward, or get out of the line.

In the case of the airplanes, they can move actually in 3 dimensions (the airplane can go upwards, downwards, left, right, etc).

Now, in the one-dimensional case of the trucks there are only two directions (which are opposite) so if the trucks travel in different directions, then the trucks travel into each other, which would cause the collision.

While in the case of the airplanes more directions exists, so there isn't (necessarily) a collision.

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item. If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50, what cost doe
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is <u>$42</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.

If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50.

Now, to find the cost price of the store owner pay for the pair of jeans.

Let the cost price of jeans be x.

Sell price of jeans = \$52.50.

Now, to get the cost price of store owner pay for the pair of jeans:

<em>As given the</em><em> </em><em>store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.</em>

According to question:

125\%\ of\ x=52.50

\frac{125}{100} \times x=52.50

1.25x=52.50

<em>Dividing both sides by 1.25 we get:</em>

x=42.

<em>The cost price of jeans = $42.</em>

Therefore, the cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is $42.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

35° , 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle be x.

It's complementary angle is = (90 - x)°

According to the question ,

x - (90 - x) = 20

=> x - 90 + x = 20

=> 2x = 90 - 20 = 70

=> x = \frac{70}{2} = 35
