Hello again! So we will be using the pythagorean theorem (leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2) to solve for the bottom leg of the triangles. After we do that, we'll subtract the value of the legs from 31, and that'll be x.


Plug in 17 and z (or any variable that isn't x) into the leg variable and 19 into the hypotenuse variable, and from there we can solve.

17^2+z^2=19^2

Solve the exponents to get 289+z^2=361

Subtract 289 on each side to get z^2=72

Lastly, square root each side of the equation and your answer should be z= \sqrt{72} (To get more accurate answers, you shouldn't round until the end of the problem)


Nextly, we will need to subtract \sqrt{72} from 31. And since there are 2 triangles, you'll need to multiply \sqrt{72} by 2.

x=31- \sqrt{72} *2 \\ x=14.0

In short, x = 14.0

How long does it take an airplane flying at a speed of 600 miles per hour to fly 3,000 miles?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

<u>Option D is answer.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

From the question;

Speed (s) = 600 miles/hr

Distance (d) = 3000 miles

Time (t) = ?

We know that;

Speed (s) = \frac{Distance(d)}{Time (t)}

600 = \frac{3000}{t}

t = \frac{3000}{600}

Therefore, it will take 5 hours to fly 3000 miles.

Hope its helps!
