Plane A is descending toward the local airport, and plane B is ascending from the same airport. Plane A is descending at a rate

of 2,500 feet per minute. Plane B is ascending at a rate of 4,000 feet per minute. If plane A is currently at an altitude of 14,000 feet and plane B is at an altitude of 1,000 feet, how long will it take them to be at the same altitude? The equation representing plane A’s descent is y = -2,500x + 14,000. The equation representing plane B’s ascent is y = 4,000x + 1,000. In both equations, y represents altitude and x represents time in minutes.

Answer: 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Plane A's descent :

y = -2,500x + 14,000

Plane B's Ascent :

y = 4,000x + 1,000

where y = altitude x = minute

Time to be at the same altitude :

Being at the same altitude means ;

Plane A's descent = Plane B's Ascent

-2,500x + 14,000 = 4,000x + 1,000

-2500x - 4000x = 1000 - 14000

-6500x = - 13000

x = 13000 / 6500

x = 2

x = 2minutes.

Which statements can be used to prove that ABC and A’B’C are congruent?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

O A.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Option A</u> identifies two angles (sufficient for similarity) and one side, sufficient (with similarity) for congruence. The applicable congruence theorem is AAS.

<u>Option B</u> identifies two sides and the angle not between them. The two triangles will be congruent in that case only if the angle is opposite the longest side, which is <u>not true</u> in general.

<u>Option C</u> same deal as Option A.

<u>Option D</u> identifies three congruent angles, which will prove the triangles similar, but not necessarily congruent.

Answer:

3.2 x 10^13

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x10^4)(4x10^8)

reorder the terms using the commutative property

(8x4)x(10^4x10^8)

multiply

32x (10^4 x 10^8)

= 32 x 10^4+8

= 32 x 10^12

now convert to scientific notation

=3.2 x 10^13

A water container has 19.5 litres of water in it. A cup holds 210 ml of water. At most 92 cups can be filled completely from the
coldgirl [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A container has 19.5 liters of water

A cup can hold 210 ml of water

1 L is equivalent to 1000 ml

So, 19.5 L is equivalent to 19.5\times 1000=19,500\ ml

So, the number of requires to hold this much water

\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{19,500}{210}\\\\\Rightarrow n=92.85\ \text{cups}

92.85 implies 92 full cups and 1 cup which is partially filled. Hence, almost 92 cups can be filled completely.
