Question

I really need help with these word problems. If you could explain how to solve them I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

1. A twin-engine airplane has a speed of 300 mi/h in still air. Suppose the airplane heads south and encounters a wind blowing 50 m/h due east. What is the resultant speed of the plane?

2. A small airplane airplane lands at a point 216 miles east and 76 miles north of the point from which it took off. How far did the airplane fly?

3. A fishing boat leaves its home port and travels 150 mi. due east. It then changes course and travels 40 mi. due north

Answer 1

How long will the direct return trip take if the boat averages 23 mi/h?

Answer 17

Ok 1st one got it

Answer 18

A twin engine airplane has a speed of 300mi/h in still air suppose this airplane heads directly south and encounter a 50 mi/h wind blowing due east find the resulting speed nod the direction of the plane . Round ur numbers to the nearest tenth unit 304 mi / h 9 degrees east of south

Answer 19

Wait there's more

Answer 20

Thanks for your help by the way I hate algebra :P
I managed to figure out the last two, but the first one is a mystery to me

Answer 21

In still air the WP-3D flies at a mi/h suppose tht srry I wanna get right to the Awnser the Awnser is about 386mi/h at 14 degrees south of west

Answer 22

first thing i did was draw a visual. i drew a point to indicate where the plane started and then traced the plane's steps.

we know that the plane is 216 miles east and 76 miles north from where it started.



does something look familiar?
it should, the beginnings of a right triangle are starting to form.

now you can use the pythagorean theorem to find out what the hypotenuse (or the distance between start point and end piont are.

the formula is:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are the base and height
the c is the hypotenuse
