Answer: C) Plane: 235 km/h, Wind: 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

Return trip = 211km/hr

Let the speed of airplane = a, and wind speed = w

Therefore ;

Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr

a + w = 259 - - - (1)

Return trip = 211km/hr

a - w = 211 - - - (2)

From (2)

a = 211 + w

Substitute the value of a into (1)

a + w = 259

211 + w + w = 259

211 + 2w = 259

2w = 259 - 211

2w = 48

w = 48/2

w = 24km = windspeed

Substituting w = 24 into (2)

a - 24 = 211

a = 211 + 24

a = 235km = speed of airplane

A triangle has a base of 9 inches and a height of 4 inches.
SashulF [63]
The answer is A which is 18 square inches. This is because the formula for finding the area of a triangle is 1/2 multiplied by the length of the base multiplied by the height. And so when you calculate this, you will get 18 square inches :)

A spiral staircase turns $270^\circ$ as it rises 10 feet. The radius of the staircase is 3 feet. What is the number of feet in t
Anastaziya [24]

The number of feet in the length of the handrail is 17.3 ft.

The easiest way to see this is to imagine that we can "unfold" the spiral to create a rectangle

The bottom side of the rectangle is just the arc length of a circle with a radius of 3 ft  turned through 270°= (3/4) of a whole revolution

(3/4) (2pi) (3)  =  (9/2)pi ft =   4.5 pi ft

The side of the rectangle will be the rise of the staircase = 10ft

And the diagonal of the rectangle will be the length of the handrail

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this

Handrail length = √ [ (4.5 pi)^2 + 10^2 ]  ≈  17.3 ft

Pythagorean theorem is the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse.

Two bowlers bowl the following number of strikes in 9 games
ehidna [41]
First, let's calculate the mean and the mean absolute deviation of the first bowler.

FIRST BOWLER: <span>8,5,5,6,8,7,4,7,6
Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (8+5+5+6+8+7+4+7+6)/9
<em>Mean = 6.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [</span>∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|8 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222| + |8 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |4 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.136</em>

SECOND BOWLER: <span>10,6,8,8,5,5,6,8,9
</span>Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (<span>10+6+8+8+5+5+6+8+9</span>)/9
<em>Mean = 7.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|10 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |9 - 7.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.531
</em>

The mean absolute deviation represents the average distance of each data to the mean. Thus, the lesser the value of the MAD is, the more consistent is the data to the mean. <em>B</em><em>etween the two, the first bowler is more consistent.</em>
