The current is 21.6km per hour

upstream means going in opposite direction of river's current

downstream means going in same direction of river's current

Let the speed of river's current be x km/hour

so net speed of boat in upstream = (9-x) km/hour

net speed of boat in downstream = (9+x) km/hour

total time taken = 2 hours 40 minutes = 8/3 hours

total time taken = time in upstream + time in downstream

( time = distance / speed)

8/3 = 6/(9-x) + 6/(9+x)

solving for x

x = 6.36 km/hour

so speed of river's current = 6.36 km/hour

Find the slope of the line that contains the following ordered pairs. Show all work.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)                 <=== formula

         = (2 - (-7)) / (18 - 18)

         = 9 / 0

         = 0                                         <=== slope

Is 7, 20, 25 a right triangle?
love history [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

To answer if they are right triangles or not use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the legs.

a)    25² = 20² + 7²

      625 = 400 + 49

     625 ≠ 449              It is not a right triangle

b)   26² = 24² + 10²

      676 = 576 + 100

      676 = 676               it is a right triangle

c)   13² = 8² + (√10)²

     169 = 64 + 10

      169 ≠ 74                 it is not a right triangle

d)   52² = 48² + 20²

      2704 = 2304 + 400

      2704 = 2704               it is a right triangle
