Answer:

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = 600 miles

Let speed of airplane = a ; speed of wind = b

Net speed ; with wind = a + b

Net speed against wind = a - b

Time taken with wind = 2 hours

Time taken against wind = 2.5 hours

Recall :

Speed = distance / time ; distance = speed * time

(a + b) * 2 = (a - b) * 2.5

2a + 2b = 600

a + b = 300 - - - (1)

a = 300 - b

2.5a - 2.5b = 600

a - b = 240 - - - (2)

300 - b - b = 240

300 - 2b = 240

-2b = - 60

b = 30

a = 300 - 30

a = 270

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

d = 16.76 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can extend the definition of the Pythagorean theorem to 3-dimensions:

d =  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} +  {y}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  }

Let x = 10 in

y = 10 in

z = 9 in

d =  \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} +  {(10)}^{2}  +  {(9)}^{2}  }

d =  \sqrt{281}  = 16.76 \: in

Points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C. Solve for x if AC = 3x + 3, BC = 3, and AB = 2x + 2.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

x=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C.

Using segment addition property, we get

AC=AB+BC

It is given that AC = 3x + 3, BC = 3, and AB = 2x + 2.

3x+3=(2x+2)+3

3x+3=2x+5

Isolate variable terms.

3x-2x=5-3

x=2

Therefore, the value of x is 2.
