Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>According the the picture we have:</u>
- The triangles have two congruent sides and one non-included angle.
It means we don't have sufficient information to state the triangles are congruent.
Correct choice is B
Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
1st: Expand the bracket
3t-3=9+t
2nd: Add the 3 to get rid of it on the first side. Do this to both sides
3t=12+t
3rd: Take away the t on the left hand side and one on the right hand side to just be left with t's on one side and integers on the other side
2t=12
4th: Divide both sides by 2 to find 1t
t=6
Hope this helps!! :)
