Answer:

Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jet's velocity against wind is

3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is

8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.

Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.

As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore

x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180

Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210

Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is

210 miles per hour.

I Need The Answer Plz!!! Geometry Is Hard!!!
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

B. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to recognize that the two triangles are similar (the triangle with a leg value of 21 and the triangle with a leg value of 4 and hypotenuse x)

Let's first label the leg of the second triangle as y.

Then, we can set up this equation

\frac{21}{y} =\frac{y}{4}

Cross multiplying gives us

84=y^2

So, y=sqrt(84) or 2 sqrt(21).

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we get

4^2+2sqrt(21)^2=x^2

100=x^2

x=10

Help meeee plz I don’t get it
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: F

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically like 2 rectangles. Find the area of both and add them together.

Remember that the area is l x w.

Area of Rectangle 1: l = 7, w = 14

14 x 7 = 98cm^{2}

Area of Rectangle 2: l = 5, w = 14

14 x 5 = 70cm^{2}

Add the areas together: 98cm^{2} + 70cm^{2} = 168cm^{2}

If the ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1, what is the ratio of their perimeters?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Ratio of the perimeters =3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that : Ratio of the sides of two squares is 3:1

To find : Ratio of their perimeters

Solution : Let the length of the sides are 3:1 = 3x : x

                  Formula of perimeter of square = 4(side)

Using the formula ,

Perimeter of 1 square = 4×3x= 12x

Perimeter of 2 square = 4×x= 4x

Ratio of the perimeter of 1 square and 2 square = 12x : 4x

                                                                                 = 3 : 1
