Assuming that the triangle is a right triangle, we can reverse engineer the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2).
60^2 + x^2 = 61^2
3600 + x^2 = 3721
x^2 = 3600 - 3721
x^2 = 121
x = sqrt121
x = 11
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.

w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.
The answer is 3/8. You can find a common denominator of 64 among all of the fractions. From this, you can find how many orange candies there are. There is 64 candies, and 40 of them are other flavors, so there's 24 orange candies. You can create the fraction 24/64 and simplify it down to 3/8.
Answer:
they are equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
because 4 times 9 is 36 and 4 times 5 is 20 so it is equal to 36+20
