Answer:

The rate of plane in the air is 720km/hr and on the way is 200km/hr

Explanation:

Let the rate of the plane be x;

Let the rate of the wind be y

If the plana fly in the direction of the wind then the speed will be x+y

If the plane flies in the opposite direction to the wind then the speed will be x-y

Using the expression;

Distance = Speed * Time

For the plane flying against the wind;

6(x-y) = 3120

6x-6y = 3120

x-y = 520 .......... 1

For the plane flying with the wind;

7(x+y) = 6440

x+y = 920 ............. 2

Add both expressions;

x+x = 520+920

2x = 1440

x = 1440/2

x = 720

Substitute x = 720 into equation 1

x - y = 520

720 - y = 520

y = 720 - 520

y = 200

This shows that the rate of plane in the air is 720km/hr and on the way is 200km/hr

The areas of the squares adjacent to two sides of a right triangle are shown below
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The area of the square is 85 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here in this question, we are interested in calculating the area of the unknown square.

Kindly note that, since each of the other shapes are squares too, it means that the length of their sides is simply the square root of their areas.

Thus, the length of the squares are ;

√35 units and √50 units respectively

Now to find the area of the larger square, we employ the use of Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let’s call the unknown length X

x^2 = (√35)^2 + (√50)^2

x^2 = 35 + 50

x^2 = 85

x = √85 units

Now as we know that the area of a square is simply the length of the side squared,

The area of the biggest square is simply (√85)^2 = 85 units^2

Answer: Product of powers
---
The product of powers rules basically says that two powers, let's call them a^{m} and a^{n}, with the same base (a) multiplied together equals a^{m+n}.

In your problem you can see that a^{2} and a^{3} are being multiplied together and the exponents are being added, which is what the "product of powers" law says.
