A plane flies 1440 miles at a speed of 240mph how long does it take

2 answers:

7 0

We will use the formula: Time = Distance/Speed.

We know that the distance is 1440 miles, and the speed is 240 mph.

We can put them in our formula: Time = 1440/240 = 6 hours or (6x60) = 360 minutes.

Triangle A has a height of 2.5\text{ cm}2.5 cm2, point, 5, start text, space, c, m, end text and a base of 1.6\text{ cm}1.6 cm1,

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Option A

Option D

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the height and base of triangle B are proportional to the height and base of triangle A

then

Triangle A and Triangle B are similar

Remember that

If two triangles are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

$\frac{h_A}{h_B} =\frac{b_A}{b_B}$

where

h_A and h_B are the height of triangle A and triangle B

b_A and b_B are the base of triangle A and triangle B

In his problem we have

$h_A=2.5\ cm\\b_A=1.6\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2.5}{h_B} =\frac{1.6}{b_B}$

Rewrite

$\frac{2.5}{1.6} =\frac{h_B}{b_B}$

$\frac{h_B}{b_B}=1.5625$

<u><em>Verify all the options</em></u>

A) we have

$h_B=2.75\ cm\\b_B=1.76\ cm$

Find the ratio of the height to the base of triangle B and compare the result with the ratio of height to the base of triangle A (the value is 1.5625)

substitute the values in the proportion

$\frac{2.75}{1.76}=1.5625$

The ratios are the same

That means that are proportional

therefore

These values could be the height and base of triangle B

B) we have

$h_B=9.25\ cm\\b_B=9.16\ cm$

Find the ratio of the height to the base of triangle B and compare the result with the ratio of height to the base of triangle A (the value is 1.5625)

substitute the values in the proportion

$\frac{9.25}{9.16}=1.0098$

The ratios are not equal

That means that are not proportional

therefore

These values could not be the height and base of triangle B

C) we have

$h_B=3.2\ cm\\b_B=5\ cm$

Find the ratio of the height to the base of triangle B and compare the result with the ratio of height to the base of triangle A (the value is 1.5625)

substitute the values in the proportion

$\frac{3.2}{5}=0.64$

The ratios are not the same

That means that are not proportional

therefore

These values could not be the height and base of triangle B

D) we have

$h_B=1.25\ cm\\b_B=0.8\ cm$

Find the ratio of the height to the base of triangle B and compare the result with the ratio of height to the base of triangle A (the value is 1.5625)

substitute the values in the proportion

$\frac{1.25}{0.8}=1.5625$

The ratios are the same

That means that are proportional

therefore

These values could be the height and base of triangle B

E) we have

$h_B=2\ cm\\b_B=1.28\ cm$

Find the ratio of the height to the base of triangle B and compare the result with the ratio of height to the base of triangle A (the value is 1.5625)

substitute the values in the proportion

$\frac{2}{1.28}=1.5625$

The ratios are the same

That means that are proportional

therefore

These values could be the height and base of triangle B

Zöe schedules advertising for a radio station. She must fill 12 minutes each hour with 30 second ads and 60 second ads. Zöe sold

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

I cannot see Zoe's work to explain the error, but the correct method of solving is listed:

x is the number of 30-second ads
y is the number of 60-second ads

x+y=12(60)=720 would be the first equation; this is because while the ads together make 12 minutes, the ad times are in seconds. This means we must multiply 12 by 60.

y=2x is the second equation

Our system is then
x+y=720
y=2x

We will use substitution to solve this. Plug 2x in place of y in the first equation:
x+2x = 720

Combine like terms:
3x = 720

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 720/3
x = 240

Substitute this value in for x in the second equation:
y=2(240)
y=480

A television is 28.5 inches wide and 16 inches long.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

33 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

diagonal² = length² +width²

diagonal² = (16 in)² +(28.5 in)² = 1068.25 in²

diagonal = √(1068.25 in²) ≈ 32.684 in

The diagonal of the television is about 33 inches.
