From the two statements we can say:

260=(215+w)t

t=260/(215+w)

Now from the second statement:

170=(215-w)t

t=170/(215-w)

We are told that t=t, for the downwind and upwind equations so:

260/(215+w)=170/(215-w)  

260(215-w)=170(215+w)

55900-260w=36550+170w

-430w=-19350

w=45

So the wind speed is 45mph.

A circle has its Center at (-2, 5) and a radius of 4 units. What is the equation of the circle?
Artist 52 [7]
\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2
\qquad 
center~~(\stackrel{-2}{ h},\stackrel{5}{ k})\qquad \qquad 
radius=\stackrel{4}{ r}
\\\\\\\
[x-(-2)]^2+[y-5]^2=4^2\implies (x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=16

The bearing of Y from X is 63
zimovet [89]

Answer:

  • 117°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per diagram:</u>

  • ∠NXY ≅ ∠XYZ as alternate interior angles since XN and YN are parallel and XY is transversal
  • m∠XYZ = m∠XZY = 63° since ΔXYZ is isosceles

<u>Find the measure of ∠YXZ:</u>

  • m∠YXZ = 180° - 2*63° = 54°

<u>Find the bearing of Z from X:</u>

  • m∠NXZ = m∠NXY + m∠YXZ = 63° + 54° = 117°
