Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the figure PQRS is a parallelogram, then opposite sides are congruent, that is

PQ = RS ← substitute in values

6x + 2 = 12 + x ( subtract x from both sides )

5x + 2 = 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

5x = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 2 → D

Answer:

(a)123 km/hr

(b)39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from P (Kano Airport) to point Q in the diagram.

Distance = Speed X Time

Therefore: PQ =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km

It moves from Point Q at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.

Distance, QA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km

Using alternate angles in the diagram:

$\angle Q=110^\circ$

(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, PA by plane Y.

Using Cosine rule

$q^2=p^2+a^2-2pa\cos Q\\q^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\q^2=34175.50\\q=184.87$ km$

SInce aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am

Time taken =1.5 hour

Therefore:

Average Speed of Y

$=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)$

(b)Flight Direction of Y

Using Law of Sines

$\dfrac{p}{\sin P} =\dfrac{q}{\sin Q}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin P} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin P=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin P=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\P=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\P=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)$
