Answer: You divide the degree measure of the arc by 360 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.
After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.
Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²
(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²
250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500
1,690,000 H² = 422,500
H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25
H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
Answer:
r≤9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance/time
speed = 1/2÷1/12 which is the same as
1/2 x 12/1 = 6
6 miles per hour.
or ou could change the 1/2 to become 0.5
and the 1/12 to become 0.083333333
and divide 0.5 ÷ 0.083333333 = 6.000000024
rounded to one decima place become 6.0
6 miles per hour
