Answer:
5(1+x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
11.6 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the Ladder=12 foot
Distance of the base of the Ladder from the House=3 foot
Since the ladder leans against the wall in a slant position, it is the hypotenuse.
From Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse ²= Opposite ²+ Adjacent ²
12²=3²+x²
x²= 12²-3²=144-9=135
x=√135=11.61895003862
The Ladder reaches up to a height of 11.6 foot (to the nearest tenth) on the house.
If she went 10 miles upstream in the same time as she went 20 miles downstream, that means the downstream speed is twice the upstream speed.
The speed is still water is 9 mph.
The speed of the current is c.
Going downstream, the current adds speed, so the sped downstream is 9 + c.
The speed upstream is 9 - c.
9 + c is twice 9 - c.
9 + c = 2(9 - c)
9 + c = 18 - 2c
3c = 9
c = 3
Answer: The speed of the current is 3 mph.
Check:
9 + c = 12
9 - c = 6
By taking into the account the speed of the current, the downstream speed, 12 mph, is indeed twice the upstream sped, 6 mph.
