Answer:

\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}=2\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity of river with respect to ground = 4 mi/h south

\overrightarrow{V_{R,G}}=4(\widehat{-j})

Velocity of swimmer with respect to river = 2 mi/h east

\overrightarrow{V_{S,R}}=2(\widehat{i})

According to the formula of relative velocity

\overrightarrow{V_{S,R}}=\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}-\overrightarrow{V_{R,G}}

2\widehat{i}=\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}+4\widehat{j}

Where, V(S,G) be the velocity of swimmer with respect to ground, it is true velocity of swimmer.  

\overrightarrow{V_{S,G}}=2\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} mi/h

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle with two semicircles removed. Round to the nearest tenths place.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

21.8

Step-by-step explanation:

hii so basically first we find the area of the 9 by 8 and subtract the area of the semicircles.

area of circles are πr^2, so in this situation

π4^2 which is 16π.

with this, the semicircle which is half a circle would give us

16π/2 which is 8π.

but then, we have two semicircles removed so we would have as an answer:

(9*8)-8π+8π

72-16π

then you would have to round so

16π is around 50.2

so 72-50.2 is 21.8

i hope this helped you <33

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds do these ratios form a proportion
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

see the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds do these ratios form a proportion

Given data

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds

your typing speed = 250/60

= 4.16 characters per seconds

your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds

your friends typing speed is

= 375/90

= 4.16 characters per seconds

Since both typing speeds corresponds, hence the ratios are proportional

Which expression is equivalent to - 3(m+5) ?<br> A m - 15<br> B - 3m + 5 <br> C -3m - 15<br> D - 15m
mylen [45]

Answer:

C) -3m - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -3 to all terms within the parenthesis:

-3(m + 5)

Multiply:

-3 * m = -3m

-3 * 5 = -15

-3m - 15 is your answer, or C)
