Answer:

Airspeed in still air:  140 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the speed in still air.  Recognize that the distance traveled is the same in either direction.

Also note that SF is north of LA.

Distance to SF from LA     =      Distance to LA from SF

(s-20)(mph)(4 hr)                 =    (s+20)(mph)(3 hr)

Then:

4s - 80 = 3s + 60 => s = 60 + 80 + 140 (mph)

The airspeed of the plane was 140 mph in still air.  With a tail wind, the plane  is faster; with a headwind, slower.

300 T(w) = 530 - w
Semmy [17]

T(110) is used to calculate the value of T when w = 110.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the y intercept.

Given the linear equation:

T(w) = 530 - w

Hence T(110) is used to calculate the value of T when w = 110.

A movie theature offers two containers. One container is a traiangular prism with a base area of 12cm and 19 cm of height, for $
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

rectangular container

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangular prism area: A = 1/3 * base area * height

                                        = 1/3 * 12 * 19

                                        = 76 cm²

Rectangular prism: A = base area * height

                                   = 8 * 15

                                   = 120 cm²

The rectangular container has a better value because it has a bigger area and is cheaper.

Hope this helps!
