Answer:
The rate of plane in still air is 834 km/hr and the rate of wind is 80 km/hr.
Step-by-step explanation:
The airplane travels 6032 km in 8 hours against the wind.
So, ........ (1) {Where u is the speed of plane in still air and v is the wind speed}
Again, the airplane travels 7312 km in 8 hours with the wind.
So, ........ (2)
Now, adding equations (1) and (2) we get,
2u = 1668
⇒ u = 834 km per hour.
So, from equation (1), we get
v = u - 754 = 834 - 754 = 80 km per hour.
Therefore, the rate of the plane in still air is 834 km/hr and the rate of wind is 80 km/hr. (Answer)
Answer:
13.86 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be represented by a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 16 feet and an angle of 60° between the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.
The height of the pole is the side opposite to the angle 60°.
The trigonometric function states that for a right angled triangle:
sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/ adjacent
To find the height of the flagpole, we use:
sin(60) = height / 16
height = 16 * sin(60)
height = 13.86 ft
The person with the incorrect reasoning for the height of the flagpole is Charlie when he should have utilized the sin function. Because he incorrectly selected the function.
