If it was 25%, it would be a 90 degree angle. So we can calculate this using a proportion. 25/90 = 24/x. Cross multiply to get 25x = 2160. When you divide by 25 on both sides you get 86.4. So the angle should be 86 degrees. Hope this helps.

denis-greek [22]

The speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, it takes 6 hours for a plane to travel 720 km with a tail wind and 8 hours to make the return trip with a head wind.

We have to find the air speed of the plane and speed of the wind.

Now, let the speed wind be "a" and speed of aeroplane be "b"

And, we know that, distance = speed x time.

$\text { Now, at tail wind } \rightarrow 720=(a+b) \times 6 \rightarrow a+b=\frac{720}{6} \rightarrow a+b=120 \rightarrow(1)$

Now at head wind → $720=(a-b) \times 8 \rightarrow a-b=\frac{720}{8} \rightarrow a-b=90 \rightarrow(2)$

So, solve (1) and (2) by addition

2a = 210

a = 105

substitute a value in (1) ⇒ 105 + b = 120

⇒ b = 120 – 105 ⇒ b = 15.

Here, relative speed of plane during tail wind is 120 kmph and during head wind is 90 kmph.

Hence, speed of wind and plane are 105 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.
