Answer:

x = 75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of similar triangles solved using proportions.

In similar triangles, corresponding side lengths are proportional.

Here the small and large triangles are similar because the have all three angles congruent.

By proportions, identifying corresponding sides,

x/45 = 50/30

solve for x

x = 45*(50/30) = 75 m

at maximum speed, an airplane travels 1720 miles against th wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the same
iragen [17]

Answer:

x = 387

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind acts in the opposite direction to the plane when the time is longer.

The wind acts in the same direction as the plane when the time is shorter.

Equation

d = r*t

Givens

  • d = 1720
  • x = plane's speed
  • y = wind speed
  • t1 = 5 hours
  • t2 = 4 hours.

Substitution

  • d = (x + y) * t
  • 1720 = (x + y) * 4
  • 1720 = (x - y) * 5

Since the two distances are the same, you can equate the right hand sides.

  • (x + y) * 4 = (x - y)*5              Remove the brackets.
  • 4x + 4y = 5x - 5y                  Add 5y to both sides
  • 4x + 4y + 5y = 5x - 5y + 5y  Combine all the terms.
  • 4x + 9y = 5x                          Subtract 4x from both sides
  • 9y + 4x - 4x = 5x - 4x           Combine
  • 9y = x

Now use one of the given equations with the distance

  • 1720 = (x + y)*4           Substitute 9y for x
  • 1720 = (9y + y) *  4      Combine
  • 1720 = 10y * 4             Multiply the right
  • 1720 = 40y                  Divide by 40
  • 1720/40 = 40y/40      Do the division
  • 43 = y                          y = wind speek
  • 9y = x                          x = 9*y  
  • 9*43 = x
  • x = 387 miles per hour.

In the figure, AB | CD and<br>mZ1 = 120°<br>What is mZ5<br>​
Stells [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB is parallel to CD and there is a transversal cutting through both (as there is, although it is not named here), then by the definition of corresponding angles, angles 1 and 5 are corresponding and are therefore, congruent. If angle 1 measures 120 then so does angle 5. Learn these...they're very important and are prevalent in triangle stuff in geometry!!!

Item 19 A cylindrical container of four rubber balls has a height of 20 centimeters and a diameter of 5 centimeters. Each ball i
Lady_Fox [76]
First you need to find the volume of the cylinder. Then find the volume of all 4 rubber balls (spheres). Subtract the cylinder's volume by the spheres' volumes.

Volume of cylinder: πr²h
                                   π2.5²(20) = 392.7 cm³

Volume of sphere: 4/3πr³
                                 4/3π2.5³ = 65.45 cm³

392.7 - 65.45 = 327.25

The amount of space in the container unoccupied by the rubber balls is 327 cm³.
