Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.

(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)

From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.

Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200

==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.

==> a + b = 800.

Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now

Answer:

Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.

(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)

From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.

 

Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200

==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.

==> a + b = 800.

Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now.

REAL LIFE A cylindrical hazardous waste container has a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 1.6 feet. Abo
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

It can hold up to 1.256ft^3 of waste

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

D = 1.5ft -- Diameter

h = 1.6ft -- height

Required

Determine the amount of waste it can hold

This simply means that we calculate the volume of the cylindrical container.

And this is calculated using:

Volume = \pi r^2h

Where

\pi = 3.14

and

r = \frac{D}{2}

r = \frac{1.5}{2}

r = 0.75

So, we have:

Volume = 3.14 * 0.5^2 * 1.6

Volume = 1.256ft^3

<em>Hence, it can hold up to </em>1.256ft^3<em> of waste</em>
