An airplane encountered a head wind during a flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh which took 5 hours and 30 minutes. The retur

n flight took 5 hours. If the distance from Joppetown to Jawsburgh is 2700 ​miles, find the airspeed of the plane​ (the speed of the plane in still​ air) and the speed of the​ wind, assuming both remain constant.

Answer: a) 490.91 mph

b) 540 mph

c) speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh took 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Time t = 5.5hours

Distance = 2700 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 2700/5.5

Speed = 490.91 mph

The return flight took 5 hours of the same distance from = 2700 ​miles

Speed = 2700/5 = 540 mph

speed of the​ wind = the difference in the two speed

speed of the​ wind = 450 - 490.91

speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Speed = 540m/s

Please, Help.<br>the answer isn't 30°

The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A)

<h3>How to find a missing angle by triangle properties</h3>

Triangles are <em>geometrical</em> figures formed by three sides and whose sum of <em>internal</em> angles equals 180°. There are two kind of triangles existing in this question: (i) <em>Right</em> triangles, (ii) <em>Isosceles</em> triangles.

<em>Right</em> triangles are triangles which one of its angles equals 90° and <em>isosceles</em> triangles are triangles which two of its sides have <em>equal</em> measures.

According to the statement, we know that triangle BQR is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle, whereas triangles ABC, ANB and NBC are <em>right</em> triangles. Based on the figure attached below, we have the following system of <em>linear</em> equations based on <em>right</em> triangles ABC and NBC:

<em>2 · x + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (1)

<em>(90 - x) + 90 + θ = 180</em>   (2)

By equalizing (1) and (2) we solve the system for <em>x</em>:

<em>2 · x = 90 - x</em>

<em>3 · x = 90</em>

<em>x = 30</em>

And by (1) we solve the system for <em>θ</em>:

<em>θ = 180 - 2 · x - 90</em>

<em>θ = 30</em>

<em />

The <em>missing</em> angle of the <em>right</em> triangle ABC has a measure of 30°. (Correct answer: A) \blacksquare
