speed of bus -- x mph speed of train -- x+15 mph Distance by train = (20/60)(x+15) distance by bus = (30/60)x but the distance is the same (1/3)(x+15) = (1/2)x times 6 2(x+15) = 3x 2x+30 = 3x x = 30 mph The bus goes at 30 mph, the train goes at 45 mph distance = (1/2)x = (1/2)...

Nice twist to a standard question. I picked a point on the shoreline x miles horizonatally from the intake, leaving 3-x horizontally to the plant I let the diagonal in the water be D1 and the diagonal on land D2 I see two right-angled triangles one with sides 2, x and D1 the o...

From the diagram that you made, let the speed of the wind be x, we get by the cosine law x^2= 350^2 + 400^2 - 2(350)(400)cos10° = 6753.829.. x = 82.18 mph by the sine law, the other acute angle Ø is .... sinØ/350 = sin10/82.18 sinØ = .7395.. Ø =...

Let the radius of the end sem-circles be r making the width of the rectangle to be 2r let the length of the rectangle be x The perimeter of the field is 2x + 2πr = 1400 x + πr = 700 x = 700-πr area = πr^2 + 2rx = πr^2 + 2r(700-πr) = πr^2 + 14...

I assume you are implying that we don't need a fence along the house. let the length be y m (the single side) let the width be x m so we know that 2x + y = 60 or y = 60 - 2x Area = xy = x(60-2x) = -2x^2 + 60x At this point I don't if you know Calculus or not. If you do...
