at a maximum speed, an airolane travels 1680 miles against the windin 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the sa

me distance in 4 hours. Let x br the maximum speed of the plane and y be the speed of the wind. What is the speed of the plane with no wind?

Answer:

Plane Speed (x) = 378 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

d = r * t

Givens

With the wind

  • d = 1680 miles
  • t = 4 hours
  • r = x + y

Against the wind

  • d = 1680
  • t = 5 hours
  • r = x - y

Equation

The distances are the same, so you can solve for x in terms of y and then deal with the actual distance.

(x + y)*4 = (x - y)*5                   Remove the brackets on both sides

Solution

  • 4x + 4y = 5x - 5y                     Subtract 4x from both sides
  • 4y = -4x + 5x - 5y                    Combine
  • 4y = x - 5y                               Add 5y to both sides                      
  • 5y + 4y = x
  • x = 9y

Solution part 2

Now take one of the distance formulas and solve for x first then y.

  • (x - y)*5 = 1680               Substitute 9y for x
  • (9y - y)*5 = 1680             Subtract on the left
  • 8y * 5 = 1680                  Multiply on the left
  • 40y = 1680                     Divide by 40
  • y = 1680/40            
  • y = 42                             That's the speed of the wind.
  • (x - y)*5 = 1680               Substitute the wind speed for y
  • (x - 42)*5 = 1680             Divide both sides by 5
  • (x - 42) = 1680 / 5            Do the division on the right
  • (x - 42) = 336                   Add 42 to both sides.
  • x = 336 + 42
  • x = 378 mph                    Plane's speed

What is the volume of a cone that has a radius of 4 cm and a height of 9 cm?
vodka [1.7K]
For any sort of pyramid or cone, the volume is 1/3 of the volume of a prism with the same base and height. Since the volume of a prism/cylinder is V=Bh, the volume of a pyramid/cone is V=\frac{1}3Bh.

In this case, our base is a circle, which has a radius of 4 cm.
The area of a circle is A=\pi r^2 where r is the radius.
A=\pi (4)^2=\pi (4\times4)=16\pi=B

We now know that our base is 16π cm.
We also know that our height is 9 cm.
Let's plug these into our volume formula.

V=\frac{1}3\times16\pi \times9

Use 3.14 to approximate pi as the question states. 16 × 3.14 = 50.24.

V\approx\frac{1}3\times50.24\times9

We could punch all of that into our calculator to get the same answer, but since 1/3 of 9 is clearly 3, let's just go with that.

V\approx3\times50.24

\boxed{V\approx150.72\ cm^3}
