Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let speed of plane be x

speed of wind be c

Also note D = RT, where

D is distance and R is rate and T is time

<u>For First Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x - c) * 2 = D

2x - 2c = D

<u>For Second Leg:</u>

we can write:

(x+c)*1.5 = D

1.5x + 1.5c = D

We can equate and write:

2x - 2c = 1.5x + 1.5c

0.5x = 3.5c

We know Speed of Wind, c, is 30, so we have:

0.5x = 3.5(30)

0.5x = 105

x = 105/0.5 = 210 [speed of airplane]

We know distance is

D = 2x - 2c

D = 2(210) - 2(30)

D = 420 - 60

D = 360 miles

The distance is 360 miles

goldenfox [79]
Start with the volume equation for a sphere:

V=4/3pi•r^3

The dimensions of the cylinder allow for a sphere with a diameter of 20 centimeters, so the radius of this sphere will be 10 centimeters. Substituting this into the equation:

V=4/3pi•(10)^3

or the uppermost right answer (B).

On a map, San Francisco is 7.5 inches from San Diego. The actual distance is 500 miles. The same map shows that Fresno is 3.3 in
Strike441 [17]
If 500 miles is represented by 7.5 inches:
Divide 500 by 7.5 
500/7.5 = 66.666
Multiply this by 3.3
66.666*3.3 = 220

The answer is 220 miles

Sat question: a circle in the xy-plane has a diameter with endpoints (-1,-3) and (7,3). if the point (0,b) lies on the circle an
labwork [276]

1) use the distance formula to find that the radius (r) of the circle = 5

2) use the midpoint formula to find that the center of the circle (h,k) = (3, 0)

3) Now use the formula of a circle and input the (h,k) and r to create:

(x - 3)² + (y - 0)² = 5² → (x - 3)² + y² = 25

4) input the "x" value given in the question (x = 0) and solve for "y":

(0 - 3)² + y² = 25 → 9 + y² = 25 → y² = 16 → y = +/- 4

Since the question states that "b" must be positive, you can disregard the -4.

Answer: b = 4

Type the correct answer in the box.
statuscvo [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

V should be written as (1/3) pi r^2 h

V = (1/3) pi r^2 h multiply by 3

3V = pi r^2 h Divide by pi

3V/ pi = r^2 h Divide by r^2

3V / (pi *r^2 ) = h
