Answer:

79.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

We resolve the speed of the plane into horizontal and vertical components respectively as 300cos75° and 300sin75° respectively. Since the wind blows due west at a speed of 25 miles per hour, its direction is horizontal and is given by 25cos180° = -25 mph.  We now add both horizontal components to get the resultant horizontal component of the airplane's speed.

So 300cos75° mph + (-25 mph) = 77.646 - 25 = 52.646 mph.

The vertical component of its speed is 300sin75° since that's the only horizontal motion of the airplane. So the resultant vertical component of the airplane's speed is 300sin75° = 289.778 mph

The direction of the plane, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component of speed/horizontal component of speed)

Ф = tan⁻¹(289.778 mph/52.646 mph)

Ф = tan⁻¹(5.5043)

Ф = 79.7°

the larger of two number is 15 more than three times the smaller number. If the sum of the two numbers is 63, find tge numbers.
irakobra [83]
X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.

A trapezoid has a height of 6 feet. The measures of the bases are 12 units and 18
Alik [6]

The area of this trapezoid is 90 square feet.

<h3>Explanation : </h3>

Before we know the answer, let's we know the formula first. The formula for count the area of trapezoid is :

\boxed {\bold {A = \frac {(a+b) \times h}{2}}}

If :

  • A = area of trapezoid
  • a = bottom bases of trapezoid
  • b = top bases of trapezoid
  • h = height of trapezoid

Okay, let's we count its :

We know that :

  • a = bottom bases of trapezoid = 18 feet
  • b = top bases of trapezoid = 12 feet
  • h = height of trapezoid = 6 feet

Question : A = area = ... ?

Answer :

A = \frac {(a+b) \times h}{2} \\ A = \frac {(12+18) \times \cancel6}{\cancel2} \\ A = 30 \times 3 = 90  \: {ft}^{2}
