Given:
The base of the given triangle has two part:
Left( left side of the hypotenuse) = 25
Right ( right side of the hypotenuse) = x
The altitude (h) = 60
To find the value of x.
Formula:
By Altitude rule we know that, the altitude of a triangle is mean proportional between the right and left part of the hypotenuse,
Now,
Putting,
left = 25, altitude = 60 and right = x we get,
or, [ by cross multiplication]
or,
or,
Hence,
The value of x is 144.
Answer:
793.25 mi/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The radius of the earth is = 3030 miles
The angular velocity =
If a jet flies due west with the same angular velocity relative to the ground at the equinox;
We are to determine the How fast in miles per hour would the jet have to travel west at the 40th parallel for this to happen.
NOW;
Distance s is expressed by the relation
s = rθ
s = 793.25
The speed which depicts how fast in miles per hour the jet would have traveled is :
v = 793.25 mi/hr
Hence, the jet would have traveled 793.25 mi/hr due west at the 40th parallel for this to happen.
