Answer:

  • commercial: 540 mph
  • private: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

93° (to the nearest degree)

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Find angle C first, then subtract angle C and angle B from 180° to find angle A.

Use the sine rule \frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinB}{b}=\frac{sinC}{c} to find angle C:

Therefore,

              \frac{sinB}{b}=\frac{sinC}{c}

              \frac{sin38}{9}=\frac{sinC}{11}

         angle C = 48.80523914...°

Angle A = 180 - 38 - 48.80523914...°

              = 93.19476086..°

              = 93° (to the nearest degree)

Candice and christ run a relay race at recess. Candice runs 1/2 of a lap around the track. Chris runs 1/3 of a lap around the tr
eduard

Answer:

Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much further Candice runs than Chris, subtract the distance Chris runs from the distance Candice runs

so

\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3-2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\ lap

therefore

Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.

if one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees then the other two add to 90 degrees write the to prove statement
mixas84 [53]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ There is a rule : angles in a triangle will always total to 180 degrees.

180 - 90 = 90

As you can see via the calculation above, the other two angles would have to total to 90 degrees to fit this rule.

<h3><u>✽</u></h3>

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:

➶ Have A Great Day ^-^
