Answer:

Speed of boat in still water = 28 miles/hr

Speed of current = 4 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed upstream, u = 96/4 = 24 miles/hr

Speed downstream, v = 96/3 = 32 miles/hr

Speed of boat in still water = ½(v+u)

= ½ (24 + 32) = 28 miles/hr

Speed of the current = ½ ( v - u)

= ½ (32 - 24) = 4 miles/hr

The legs of a right triangle are lengths x and x square root 3. The cosine of the smallest angle of the triangle is _____.
ICE Princess25 [194]
AC=x, BC=x√3, AB is a hypotenuse (look at the pic below)
x√3>x, consequently ∠B<∠A and we have to find cosB, which is (x√3)/AB.
<em>Let's find AB:</em>
AB=√(x²+(x√3)²)=√(x²+3x²)=√(4x²)=2x
<em>Thus, cosB is:</em>
cosB=(x√3)/(2x)=√3/2

Aarón made a picture frame with the dimensions show in the figure what is the area of the picture
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Area of the picture is 72\textrm{ }cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Outer rectangle dimensions are 10 cm by 12 cm.

Inner rectangle dimensions are 6 cm by 8 cm.

Area of the picture given as:

Area=\textrm{Outer rectangle area}-\textrm{Inner rectangle area}

Outer rectangle area = 10\times 12=120\textrm{ }cm^{2}

Inner rectangle area = 6\times 8=48\textrm{ }cm^{2}

Therefore, the area of the picture is given:

Area=120-48=72\textrm{ }cm^{2}

Pool #1 is a rectangle that is 14 feet wide. The length is (14– 8)2ft.
kap26 [50]

Answer: the length is 6 feet. The width is 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden pool is rectangular in shape.

Let L represent the length of the rectangular garden.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular garden.

The area of a rectangle is expressed as L× W. The area of the rectangular garden pond is 12ft^2. It means that

L× W = 12 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The length of the pool needs to be 2ft more than twice that width. This means that

L = 2W + 2 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 2) = 12

2W^2 + 2W = 12

2W^2 + 2W - 12 = 0

W^2 + W - 6 = 0

W^2 + 3W - 2W - 6 = 0

W(W + 3) - 2(W + 3) = 0

W - 2 = 0 or W + 3 = 0

W = 2 or W = - 3

Since the Width cannot be negative, then the width is 2 feet

Substituting W = 2 into equation 2. It becomes

L = 2×2 + 2 = 6 feet
