Since 1 ton is equivalent to 2000pounds, 6000 pounds would be 3 tons.
PART 1.
Going westward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450-wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450-wind speed)
Going eastward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450+wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450+wind speed)
PART 2
Formula for speed:
speed = distance / time
Now we solve this for time:
time = distance / speed
11h = 2400 / (450+-wind_speed)
+- sign is put because in one case wind increases speed of plane and in other case it decreases speed.
PART 3
To solve for wind_speed we start by rearranging formula so that we have wind_speed on left side:
(450+-wind_speed) = 2400 / 11
(450+-wind_speed) = 218mph
To fly this distance in 11h speed of plane must be 218mph.
The only way to get this solution is if we substract wind speed:
450-wind_speed = 218
wind_speed = 450-218 = 232mph
Answer:
$9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
I divided $78 by 8 people and that is how I got this answer.
Call the angles of depression D.
then tan(D)=20/30, or I
arctan(tan(D)) = arctan(⅔)
D=33.690. A is the answer
your calculator probably uses tan^-1 rather than arctan
