Answer: the speed of the wind is 1.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the wind.

Time = distance/speed

Craig can ride his bike at an average rate of 14 miles per hour in calm air. Traveling with the wind, his total speed would be (14 + x) mph

Time taken to travel 62 miles with the wind would be

62/(14 + x)

In the same amount of time it took him to ride 50 miles against the wind. His total speed would be

(14 - x) mph. Time taken to travel 50 miles is

50/(14 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

62/(14 + x) = 50/(14 - x)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

62(14 - x) = 50(14 + x)

868 - 62x = 700 + 50x

- 62x - 50x = 700 - 868

- 112x = - 168

x = - 168/-112

x = 1.5

Answer:

  195 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the horizontal distance, angle, and vertical height is given by ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Referring to the attached diagram, we have ...

  tan(16°) = BT/MB

  tan(25°) = BK/MB

Solving for BT and BK, we can describe their difference as ...

  BT = MB·tan(16°)

  BK = MB·tan(25°)

  BK -BT = 35 = MB(tan(25°) -tan(16°))

Dividing by the coefficient of MB gives ...

  MB = 35/(tan(25°) -tan(16°)) = 35/0.179562

  MB = 195 . . . feet

Marcos is standing 195 feet from the base of the tree.

Answer:

65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Find what the measure of JLK is</u>

JLM + JLK = 180

140 + JLK - 140 = 180 - 140

JLK = 40

<u>Step 2:  Find what the measure of KJL is</u>

KJL + JLK + JKL = 180

KJL + 40 + 75 = 180

KJL + 115 - 115 = 180 - 115

KJL = 65

Answer:  65 degrees
