7.6.35 Question Help A pilot can travel 400 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 352 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the wind if the​ pilot's speed in still air is 329 miles per hour

9514 1404 393

  21 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the wind speed. Then the travel time is ...

  400/(329 +w) = 352/(329 -w)

  400(329 -w) = 352(329 +w)

  (352+400)w = 329(400 -352)

  w = (400 -352)/(400 +352)·329 = 48/752·329 = 21

The wind speed is 21 miles per hour.

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
