Two f-18s are catapulted off an aircraft carrier and fly on courses that diverge at a 60° angle. if each flies at a constant rate of 500 mph, after how many hrs will the fighters be 1200 mi apart?

The will be 1200 miles apart after 2.4 hours.

First draw a picture of an angle of 60 degrees. The vertex is the starting point of the plane and they are flying away from it.

If you drew points for the new positions of the plane and connected them, you would have triangle. The planes are flying at the same speed, so they would be isosceles triangles. And since the vertex angle is 60 degrees, the other angles have to be 60 as well. This makes it an equilateral triangles, meaning all the sides are the same.

So the distance between the planes is equal to the distance that they have flow.

Simply divide 1200 by 500 to get 2.4 hours.

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
