Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height: airplane A is flying east at 250 mi/h and airplane B is flying north at 300 mi/h. If they are both heading to the same
airport, located 30 miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate is the distance between the airplanes changing?

- The force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. If Tom uses 20 pounds of pressure to break a 1 .5-foot long board, how many pounds of pressure would he need to use to break a 6 foot long board?arrow_forwardThe volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas. If a container of argon has a volume of 336 cubic inches under a pressure of 2,500 psi, what will be its volume if the pressure is decreased to 2,000 psi?arrow_forwardIf y varies directly as x and y=5, when x=3 ., find the equation that relates x and y.arrow_forward
