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
A plumber worked 26 hours a week for half a year. If his hourly wage was $40, how much did he earn during this time period?
<span> <span>A.</span>$1040</span><span> <span>B.</span>$27,040</span><span> <span>C.</span>$54,080</span><span> <span>D.</span><span>$520</span></span>
The answer would be 15.7142857143
You can get the answer by calculating (5/7) × 22
This is pretty simple. :) Since you have 6 rolls of dimes with 50 dimes in each, you would just do 6*50 which equals 300. So Hayden has 300 dimes altogether. Hope this helps! :)
