Answer:
1 mi/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Speed in still water, s = 5 mi/hr
Let speed of current = x
Time = distance /speed
Upstream (subtract speed of current) = 5 - x
Upstream time = 8 / 5 - x - - - (1)
Downstream (add speed of current) = 5 + x
Downstream time = 12 / 5 + x - - - (2)
Equate (1) and (2)
8 / (5 - x) = 12/ (5 + x)
8(5 + x) = 12(5-x)
40 + 8x = 60 - 12x
40 - 60 = - 12x - 8x
-20 = - 20x
x = 1
Spwed of current = 1 mi/hr
The next two terms in the arithmetic progression will be 15 and 21.
Based on the information given, the following can be deduced.
First term = 3
Second term = 9
Common difference = 9 - 3 = 6
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given as: = a + (n-1)d
Therefore, 3rd term = a + 2d = 3 + 2(6) = 3 + 12 = 15
4th term = a + 3d = 3 + 3(6) = 3 + 18 = 21
The next 2 terms are 15 and 21.

Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that DC is parallel to AB, then triangle DOC is similar to triangle AOB.
However, even with this assumption, there is not enough information in the diagram to solve for DO. We would also need to know the length of CO. Then we could write a proportion:
DO / (DO + 20) = CO / (CO + 24)
Edit: OD is 2 cm shorter than OC. If we call x the length of OD, then the length of OC is x+2.
Putting this into our proportion:
x / (x + 20) = (x + 2) / (x + 2 + 24)
x / (x + 20) = (x + 2) / (x + 26)
Cross multiply:
x (x + 26) = (x + 2) (x + 20)
Distribute:
x² + 26x = x² + 20x + 2x + 40
x² + 26x = x² + 22x + 40
4x = 40
x = 10
So the length of DO is 10 cm.
