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

Which table represents a nonlinear function?

Setler [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonlinear would be any function where both values are not changing by some fixed amount. In B, f(x) increases by 1 for every time x increases by 1 so that's linear. For C, f(x) increases by 2 for every time x increases by 1, so that's linear. For D, f(x) increases by 3 for every time x increases by 1 so that's also linear. For A, f(x) does not always change by the same amount, so it's nonlinear.

Quadrilateral jklm is a rhombus. the diagonals intersect at n. if the measure of angle jkl is 104°, find the measure of angle jk

Paul [167]

The diagram of rhombus JKLM is shown in the diagram below

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and its diagonals intersect perpendicular to each other (makes 90° angles). Opposite angles are equal (the same with a parallelogram). Each diagonal bisects the angle at J, K, L, and M equally

If angle JKL is 104°, the measurement of angle JKN is 104÷2=51°
