Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

pilot flew a 400-mile flight in 2.5 hours flying into the wind . Flying the same rate and with the same wind speed, the return trip took only 2hours with a tailwind

The speed can be defined as the ratio distance over time, but in this case the pilot is flying at the speed of the plane as well of speed of the wind. We can denote speed of plane as "s" and speed of the wind as "k"

Then the speed of the plane=(s-k) this is because it is moving in the opposite direction of the wind.

But From the question, the plane distance=400mile and the corresponding time =2.5 h

Then the speed of the plane=(s-k) =400mile/2.5

=160mph

By the time it return from trip, the speed the plane flew with is (s+k) because the wind is at the rear.

From the question, the plane distance=400mile and the corresponding time =2 h

Then (s+k)= (400/2)

(s+k)=200mph

On a coordinate plane, a shape is plotted with vertices of (3, 1), (0, 4), (3, 7), and (6, 4). what is the area of the shape if
QveST [7]
Let
<span>A (3, 1)
B (0, 4)
C(3, 7)
D (6, 4)

step 1
find the distance AB
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dAB=√[(4-1)²+(0-3)²]-----> dAB=√18 cm

step 2
find the distance CD
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dCD=√[(4-7)²+(6-3)²]-----> dCD=√18 cm

step 3
find the distance AD
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dAD=√[(4-1)²+(6-3)²]-----> dAD=√18 cm

step 4
find the distance BC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> dBC=√[(7-4)²+(3-0)²]-----> dBC=√18 cm

step 5
find slope AB and CD
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
mAB=-1
mCD=-1
AB and CD are parallel and AB=CD

step 6
find slope AD and BC
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
mAD=1
mBC=1
AD and BC are parallel and AD=BC
and 
AB and AD are perpendicular 
BC and CD are perpendicular

therefore
the shape is a square wit length side √18 cm

area of a square=b²
b is the length side of a square
area of a square=(√18)²------> 18 cm²

the answer is
18 cm²

see the attached figure
