With a certain tail wind a jet aircraft arrives at its destination, 1,890 miles away, in 3 hours. Flying against the same wind,

the plane makes the return trip in 3 3/8 hours. Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.

<span>Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.
:
Let s = speed of the plane in still air
Let w = speed of the wind
then
(s-w) = plane speed against the wind
and
(s+w) = plane speed with the wind
:
Change 3 3/8 hrs to 3.375 hrs
:
The trips there and back are equal distance, (1890 mi) write two distance equations
dist = time * speed
:
3.375(s-w) = 1890
3.0(s + w) = 1890

:
It is convenient that we can simplify both these equations:
divide the 1st by 3.375
divide the 2nd by 3
resulting in two simple equations that can be used for elimination of w
s - w = 560
s + w = 630
----------------adding eliminates w, find s
2s = 1190
s = 
s = 595 mph is the plane speed in still air
Find w
595 + w = 630
w = 630 - 595
w = 35 mph is the wind spee</span>

Answer:

  4. height: 5√3 cm; area: 25√3 cm²

  5. 30√2 ft ≈ 42.43 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

4. The height of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2 times the side length, so is ...

  height = (√3)/2 × (10 cm) = 5√3 cm

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(10 cm)(5√3 cm) = 25√3 cm²

__

5. The diagonal of a square is √2 times the side length, so the distance from 3rd to 1st base is ...

  (30 ft)√2 ≈ 42.43 ft

__

The length of the diagonal of a square is something you should be familiar with. If you're not, you can figure the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d = √(30² +30²) = √1800 ≈ 42.43 . . . feet

How do I work this out oof
kakasveta [241]

I am so sorry for giving you the wrong answer at first.

Here's the processs

1x=-0.5555

Move the decimal point in the repeating decimal one space forward

10x=-5.55555

Then subtract

10x=5.5555

x=-0.5555= 9x=-5

Divide both sides by 9

9x=-5

9x/9=-5/9

-5/9 is your final answer!

Hope this helps!

Simplify.
Citrus2011 [14]
First I'd expand the brackets so that you can re-simplify the values, so:
(2x + 3)(3x + 4)
6x^2 + 9x + 8x + 12
6x^2 + 17x + 12
The answer A. 2x(3x + 4) + 3(3x + 4) can be simplified the same way, with 6x^2 + 8x + 9x + 12, and so the answer is A. I hope this helps!
