Let <em>a</em> be the speed of the plane and <em>w</em> the wind speed.

<em>a</em> - <em>w</em> = (8460 km)/(9 h) = 940 km/h

<em>a</em> + <em>w</em> = (9600 km)/(8 h) = 1200 km/h

Add these speeds together to eliminate <em>w</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :

2<em>a</em> = 1740 km/h

<em>a</em> = 870 km/h

Subtract the first vector from the second to eliminate <em>a</em> and solve for <em>w</em> :

2<em>w</em> = 260 km/h

<em>w</em> = 130 km/h

PLS ANSWER QUICK! Thanks!
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given a^2+b^2=c^2 we want to solve for a

How?

We can do this by using basic algebra ( isolating the variable (a ))

Step 1 subtract b^2 from each side

a^2+b^2-b^2=a^2\\c^2-b^2=c^2-b^2

now we have a^2=c^2-b^2

step 2 take the square root of each side

\sqrt{a^2} =a\\\sqrt{c^2-b^2} =\sqrt{c^2-b^2}

we're left with a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}

Hence your answer is A
