Answer:

1.) 14.09 m/s

2.) 6.9 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the boat is pointing North and can typically move at a speed of 12.8 m/s in calm waters. The boat travels through water where there is a 5.9 m/s current flowing to the East.

The speed of the boat relative to a stationary observer on land will be achieved by using pythagorean theorem

V^2 = 12.8^2 + 5.9^2

V^2 = 198.65

Square root both sides

V = 14.09 m/s

2.) If the boat turns to face directly West.

Since the boat can move at speed 12.8 m/s in a calm water, the speed of the boat if it face west will be

12.8 - 5.9 = 6.9 m/s

Therefore, the boat is moving relative to land at 6.9m/s

Find the dimensions of a rectangle, length 7m less than three times the width and the area of the rectangle is 66m^2.
zhuklara [117]

  We know: length of a rectangle is 7m less than three times the width.

So let's set the length to l, width to w.

And we can get that l = 3w-7.

We also know that the area of the rectangle is 66 m^2.

Thus, l*w= 66.

So we have:

function 1: l=3w-7

function 2: l*w=66

plug function 1 to 2.

(3w-7)*w=66

3w^2-7w-66=0

w=6 and -11/3.

And the width of a rectangle can not be negative.

So: w=6.

Plug w=6 back to function 1 or 2, either way is correct and can give you the length. In this case, I will plug it back to function 1.

l=3*6-7=11.

So: the width of the rectangle is 6, and the length of the rectangle is 11.
