Answer:
1 mile/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Speed of the boat still in water = a
Speed of the current = b
We know from this formula that speed = distance/time
Hence,
A canoe traveled Downstream with the current and went a distance of 15 miles in three hours.
Downstream = a + b = 15/3
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
On the return trip, the canoe traveled Upstream against the current. It took 5 hours to make the return trip.
Upstream = a - b = 15/5
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Combining both Equation together
a + b = 5 .........Equation 1
a - b = 3 ..............Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1
2b = 2
b = 2/2
b = 1miles/hr
Since b = speed of the current which can also be called rate of the current, the rate of the current = 1 miles/hr
AD and FC are perpendicular so they make a 90 degree angles. Angle BDC is equal to angle FDE so its 25. then u take 90 and subtract 25 to find the anser your looking for... so its 65
Answer:
length : 10 yard
width: 14 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length of the yard.
Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.
With width x length=area,
l (2l -6) = 140
2l^2 - 6l = 140
2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
we can determine l = 10 or -7
since the length should not be negative,
the length is 10 yard.
Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.
width = 2(10)-6
= 14 yard
