<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>

Pls help :Find the missing side or angle.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

C° = 71.6056

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC°

Step 1: Plug in known variables

29² = 30² + 15² - 2(30)(15)cosC°

Step 2: Evaluate

841 = 900 + 225 - 900cosC°

-59 = 225 - 900cosC°

-284 = -900cosC°

71/225 = cosC°

cos⁻¹(71/225) = C°

C° = 71.6056

And we have our answer!

ANSWER QUICK!!! IM TAKING A TEST AND I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer:

C = 5Q

Step-by-step explanation:

C = Length of Cloth in Meters (C)

Q = Number of Quilts Made (Q)

C = 5Q

Change C for the numbers under (Length of Cloth in Meters (C))
Nad change Q for the numbers under (Number of Quilts Made (Q))

So the new equations would be:

0 = 5(0) --------->  0 = 0

5 = 5(1) ---------> 5 = 5

10 = 5(2) ---------> 10 = 10

15 = 5(3) ---------> 15 = 15

20 = 5(4) ---------> 20 = 20

25 = 5(5) ---------> 25 = 25

So the only option that amkes sense is (C = 5Q)
