A dragon flew 300 miles from his castle to visit a friend. Flying with the wind, his trip took 2 hours. His return trip against the wind took 3 hours. What was the speed of the wind and the speed of the dragon in still air?

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of the wind and the speed of the dragon in still air are respectively;  142.5 mph and 7.5 mph

How to calculate the speed?

The dragon flew 300 miles with the wind in two hours.

After flying against the wind for two hours, he had made 270 miles of the return trip.

Let s be the speed in still air

Let w be the speed of the wind

Thus;

(s - w) = effective speed against the wind

and

(s + w) = effective speed with the wind

We know that;

distance = time * effective speed

Thus;

2(s + w) = 300

2(s - w) = 270

This can be simplified to get;

s + w = 150   -----(1)

s - w = 135   -----(2)

Add both equations to get;

2s = 285

s = 285/2

s = 142.5 mph.

Then, plane speed in still air is;

142.5 + w = 150

w = 150 - 142.5

w = 7.5 mph is the speed of the wind

A shop advertises a 24% off sale. The coat sold for $258 fins the decrease in price and the sale price

Answers

Answer:

339.47

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 24 = 76

258 = 76 percent

3.39473684211 = 1 percent

339.47 = 100 percent

Answer:

The decrease in price is $61.92

The sale price is $196.08

Step-by-step explanation:

24% × 258 = 61.92

258 × (1 - 24%) = 258 × (1 - 0.24) = 196.08

two sides and an angle are given below. determine whether the given information results in one triangle, two triangles, or no triangle at all. solve any resulting triangle(s). b = 8, c= 7, b = 170°

Answers

Answer:

  A. single triangle. C = 8.74°, A = 1.26°, a = 1.01

Step-by-step explanation:

When two sides and an angle are given, the possibility of two (or zero) triangles exists only when the given angle is opposite the shorter of the two given sides. That is not the case here, so the given measures define one unique triangle.

Law of Sines

The law of sines tells us the sides and angles have the relation ...

  sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

We can use this first to find angle C:

  sin(C) = c/b·sin(B)

  C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(7/8·sin(170°)) ≈ 8.7394°

  ∠C ≈ 8.74°

Remaining measures

Now that we know two angles, we can find the third:

  A = 180° -B -C = 180° -170° -8.74° = 1.26°

  ∠A = 1.26°

Using the law of sines again, we can find the measure of side 'a'.

  a = b·sin(A)/sin(B) = 8·sin(1.26°)/sin(170°) ≈ 1.01346

The measure of segment 'a' is about 1.01 units.

__

Additional comment

If 'a', 'b', and angle A are given, there will be zero triangles if b/a·sin(A) > 1. If b/a·sin(A) < 1 and b > a, there will be two (2) triangles. Otherwise, as here, there will be one unique triangle.

What is a cube?

It is defined as three-dimensional geometry that has six square faces and eight vertices.

We have a volume of a cubical box is 54.872 cm³

V = 54.872 cm³

As we know the volume of the cube:

V = side³

54.872 = side³

Taking cube root on both sides:

side = 3.8 cm

Thus, the sides length of the cubical box is 3.8 cm if the volume of a cubical box is 54.872 cm³ option second is correct.

The mean absolute deviation of the number of books is 1.84

How to determine the mean absolute deviation?

The dot plot of the number of books is in the attached figure.

From the figure, we have:

1       1

2      2

3      2

4      3

5      1

6     2

7     3

8     1

Start by calculating the mean using:

[tex]\bar x= \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x= \frac{1 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 2 * 3 + 3 * 4 + 1 * 5 + 2 * 6 + 3 *7 + 1 * 8}{1 +2+2+3+1+2+3+1}[/tex]

Evaluate the sum and products

[tex]\bar x= \frac{69}{15}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\bar x= 4.6[/tex]

The mean absolute deviation is then calculated as:

[tex]|\bar x| = \frac{\sum f|x - \bar x|}{\sum f}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]|\bar x|= \frac{1 * |1 -4.6|+ 2 * |2 -4.6| + 2 * |3 -4.6|+ 3 * |4 -4.6|+ 1 *| 5 -4.6|+ 2 * |6 -4.6|+ 3 *|7 -4.6|+ 1 * |8-4.6|}{1 +2+2+3+1+2+3+1}[/tex]

Evaluate the absolute difference

[tex]|\bar x|= \frac{1 * 3.6+ 2 * 2.6 + 2 * 1.6+ 3 * 0.6+ 1 *0.4+ 2 * 1.4+ 3 *2.4+ 1 * 3.4}{15}[/tex]

Evaluate the sum of products

[tex]|\bar x|= \frac{27.6}{15}[/tex]

[tex]|\bar x|= 1.84[/tex]

To prove that △DFE ~ △GFH by the SAS similarity theorem, it can be stated that StartFraction D F Over G F EndFraction = StartFraction E F Over H F EndFraction and

∠DFE is 4 times greater than ∠GFH.
∠FHG is One-fourth the measure of ∠FED.

The image of the triangle is attached with the answer below:-

What is congruency?

The Side-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem (SAS) defines two triangles to be congruent to each other if the included angle and two sides of one is congruent to the included angle and corresponding two sides of the other triangle.

Given ΔDEF as shown in the diagram attached to this answer, the following can be observed:

By comparing ΔDEF and ΔGFH

DF = DG + GF

    = 12 + 4

DF = 16

Also,

EF = EH + HF

   = 9 + 3

EF = 12

Comparing the sides of ΔDEF and ΔGFH, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{DF}{GF}[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{EF}{HF}[/tex]  

[tex]\dfrac{16}{4}=\dfrac{12}{3}[/tex]

4 = 4

Thus, the two triangles have similar sides.

Comparing the included angle <DFE and <GFH, then;

DFE is congruent to ∠GFH

Therefore, to prove that △DFE ~ △GFH by the SAS similarity theorem;

[tex]\dfrac{DF}{GF}[/tex] =[tex]\dfrac{EF}{HF}[/tex]    and ∠DFE is congruent to ∠GFH.

Michael designed an activity plan for the next week he determined that they could run at 6 miles per hour and walk at 3 mph if Michael dedicates 12 hours in the week to travel a total distance of 48 miles how many hours does Michael plan on running and walking

Answers

Answer:

Run 4 hours, Walk 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the running time

Let W be the walking time

Distance = Speed x Time

48 = 6R + 3W (equation 1)

12 = R + W (equation 2)

We will use elimination method to solve for these simulteanous equations.

Multiply Equation 2 by 3.

12x3 = 3(R+W)

36 = 3R + 3W (equation 3)

now subtract equation 3 from equation 1.

48-36 = 6R - 3R + 3W - 3W

12 = 3R

R = 12/3

= 4hours

now Substitute R into equation 2.

12 = 4 + W

W = 12 - 4

= 8

Therefore Michael plan to run for 4 hours and walk for 8 hours.
