so the answer is the shorter side is 30 inches and the longer side is 150 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
So it looks like the lengths have a relationship with each other so u can use a variable for both, here I’m using X. The shorter length (which is X in this case) plus the longer length (which becomes 5n) hence adds up and becomes:
If the plane travelled that distance in 5 hours, then all you need to do is divide the distance by 5 to get the distance travelled in one hour. This is obviously presuming that the speed travelled was constant or that this is an average figure.
