Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

PROVE THAT:<br><br>cos 20° - sin 20° = ​​ \sqrt{2}sin25°<br><br>​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(20)-\sin(20)=\sqrt{2}\sin(25)

First, use the co-function identity:

\sin(90-x)=\cos(x)

We can turn the second term into cosine:

\sin(20)=\sin(90-70)=\cos(70)

Substitute:

\cos(20)-\cos(70)=\sqrt{2}\sin(25)

Now, use the sum to product formulas. We will use the following:

\cos(x)-\cos(y)=-2\sin(\frac{x+y}{2})\sin(\frac{x-y}{2})

Substitute:

\cos(20)-\cos(70)=-2\sin(\frac{20+70}{2})\sin(\frac{20-70}{2})\\\cos(20)-\cos(70)  =-2\sin(45)\sin(-25)\\\cos(20)-\cos(70)=-2(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\sin(-25)\\ \cos(20)-\cos(70)=-\sqrt{2}\sin(-25)

Use the even-odd identity:

\sin(-x)=-\sin(x)

Therefore:

\cos(20)-\cos(70)=-\sqrt{2}\sin(-25)\\\cos(20)-\cos(70)=-\sqrt{2}\cdot-\sin(25)\\\cos(20)-\cos(70)=\sqrt{2}\sin(25)

Replace the second term with the original term:

\cos(20)-\sin(20)=\sqrt{2}\sin(25)

Proof complete.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a)50%,b)70%

Step-by-step explanation:

odd=5

10=100%

5

5×100=500/10

=50%

10=100%
