Answer:

The speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by plane to Bangkok =  1794 miles

The trip there was with the wind. Time taken = 13 hours.

The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 26 hours.

Let s = plane speed in still air

let w = speed of the wind

(s+w) = speed of plane with wind

(s-w) = speed of plane against wind

Distance = Speed * Time

When the trip was with the wind .

⇒1794 =(s+w)\times13

⇒\frac{1794}{13}=s+w

⇒138=s+w ---1

When The trip back was into the wind.

⇒1794 =(s-w)\times23  

⇒\frac{1794}{23}=s-w

⇒78=s-w ---2

Add 1 and 2

⇒s+w+s-w =138+78

⇒2s =216

⇒s=\frac{216}{2}

⇒s=108

To find w substitute the value of s in 1

⇒138=108+w

⇒138-108=w

⇒30=w

Thus the speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

Help with 7-12 please!​
OLEGan [10]

How to solve 7-10: if a coordinate (x, y) is on the line, then f(x) = y.

7. Since x is 6, look at the graph, which shows that y (or f(x)) is 4. (look at picture)

8. Same thing as 7. you will see that f(x) is 15.

9. The other way around. since we know y = 2, looking at the graph shows us that x = 3.

10. Repeat process of 9. x = 10.

How to solve 11 + 12: slope formula (rise-over-run)

11. (14-4)/(12-6) = 10/6 = 5/3.

12. (16-14)/(18-12) = 2/6 = 1/3.

(If possible brainliest is appreciated :D)

A ladder 20 feet long is leaning against the wall of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.17 °/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder is leaning against the wall and has a length, L and is at a distance, D from the wall. If θ is the angle between the ladder and the wall, then sinθ = D/L.

We differentiate the above expression with respect to time to have

dsinθ/dt = d(D/L)/dt

cosθdθ/dt = (1/L)dD/dt

dθ/dt = (1/Lcosθ)dD/dt where dD/dt = rate at which the ladder is being pulled away from the wall = 2 ft/s and dθ/dt = rate at which angle between wall and ladder is increasing.

We now find dθ/dt when D = 16 ft, dD/dt = + 2 ft/s, and L = 20 ft

We know from trigonometric ratios, sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. So, cosθ = √(1 - sin²θ) = √[1 - (D/L)²]

dθ/dt = (1/Lcosθ)dD/dt

dθ/dt = (1/L√[1 - (D/L)²])dD/dt

dθ/dt = (1/√[L² - D²])dD/dt

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

dθ/dt = (1/√[20² - 16²]) 2 ft/s

dθ/dt = (1/√[400 - 256]) 2 ft/s

dθ/dt = (1/√144) 2 ft/s

dθ/dt = (1/12) 2 ft/s

dθ/dt = 1/6 °/s

dθ/dt = 0.17 °/s
