An airplane flies at a constant speed. It can travel a distance (d) of 1,800 kilometers in 2 hours (t).

1 answer:

8 0

D = 900t

because if you want to simplify t (2 hours) into one then you divide 1800 by 2 and that gives you the constant of proportionality (slope) of 900. Using this information you can write the expression d = 900t.

Remember $\sqrt{ \frac{x}{y} } = \frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{y} }$
and
$\sqrt{ab^2} =b \sqrt{a}$
$\sqrt{ \frac{32}{5} } = \frac{ \sqrt{(4^2)(2)} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{5} }$
times whoe thing by $\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} }$
$\frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5}$

Triangle abc is such that ab=4 and ac=8 if m is the midpoint of bc and am=3, what is the length of bc?

This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²

We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355
