Answer:

  22 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h

With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...

  (120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h

___

The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...

  b + c = 24

  b - c = 20

Adding these two equations together, we get ...

  2b + 0c = 44

  b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.

Length of the hypotenuse of the triangle to the nearest tenth of a metre
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 2.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = 55°

o: opposite  = 2.0m

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)

we look at which meets those data between the sine, cosine and tangent

is the sine

sin α = o/ah

Now we replace the values ​​and solve

sin 55 = 2.0/h

0.81915 = 2.0/h

h = 2.0 / 0.81915

h = 2.4415 m

round to the nearest tenth

h = 2.4415 = 2.4 m

The length of the hypotenuse is 2.4m

Answer:

h=A*2b

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2bh

1/2bh=A

1/2bh÷1/2bh=A÷1/2bh (the 1/2b will cancel with the 1/2b on the left leaving h)
