Let x be speed of wind.

Speed of plane with the wind = 235 + x

Speed of plane against the wind = 235 - x

use the formula,

Distance = (Rate)(Time),

thus,

Time=\frac{Distance}{Rate}

Time to go 450 miles with wind = time to go 396 miles with wind

\begin{gathered} \frac{450}{235+x}=\frac{396}{235-x} \\ 450(235-x)=396(235+x) \\ 105750-450x=93060+396x \\ 105750-93060=396x+450x \\ 12690=846x \\ x=15 \end{gathered}

The speed of the wind is 15 mph.

Answer:

area is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find the area of a triangle is

area = 1/2 x base x height

so we can plug the numbers of your triangle in to that formula

the base is 7 and height is 6

area = 1/2 x 7 x 6

area = 1/2 x 42

area = 21
