The excursion boat on the river takes 2½ hours to make the trip to a point 12 miles upstream and to return. If the rate at which

the boat travels in still water is 5 times the rate of the river current, what is the rate of the current?

Answer:

2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance / speed

Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(4c) = 3/c.

Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...

... 12/(6c) = 2/c.

The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:

... 3/c +2/c = 2.5

... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms

... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5

PLZ HELP its Triangle Properties and where using the 45º-45º-90º Triangle Theorem and the 30º-60º-90º Triangle Theorem.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is below

Step-by-step explanation:

4.-

In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the length of the legs are "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is x\sqrt{2}

Then, in this problem, the length of the leg is 7 then the length of the hypotenuse will be 7\sqrt{2}

5.- In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2x, the length of the longer leg is x\sqrt{3} and the length of the shorter leg is x.

In this problem we have the length of the hypotenuse = 20 and find x.

                          2x = 20

                             x = 20/2

                             x = 10

          longer leg = xx\sqrt{3} = 10\sqrt{3}

6.- nonzero

7.- hypotenuse = 20 cm

     Find x

                         2x = 20

                           x = 20/2

                          x = 10

   Shoter leg = x = 10 cm

Vertical shift is -2. Horizontal shift is 1. Check the box that says reflect over x-axis. Horizontal shrink should be 4. Then to check if it looks right go to Desmos.com and in the graphing calculator put in y=-4(x-1)^2-2 and see if it looks like the one you did in your work
