Answer:

The air speed of the plane is 90 km/hr. and the wind has a speed of 15 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane travels 720 km in 6 hours in the direction of the wind and it takes 8 hours to make the round trip.

If we assume that the speed of the plane is u km/hr. and that of wind is v km/hr.

Therefore, we can write u + v = \frac{720}{6} =120 ........ (1)

And u-v = \frac{720}{8}=90 ..... (2)

If we add those two equations, then 2u = 210, ⇒ u = 105 km/hr.

Again from equation (2), we get v = u - 90 = 105 - 90 = 15 km/hr.

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane is 90 km/hr. and the wind has a speed of 15 km/hr. (Answer)

The diagonal of a rectangle is 25 in. The width is 15 in. What is the area of the triangle?
Vikki [24]
First, find the length
L^2+W^2=D^2 )L for length, W for width, D for diagonal)
L^2=25^2-15^2=625-225=400
L=20
A=1/2 of L*W= (1/2)*20*15=150 square inches
