A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst

ream from Glenavon to Cambria, which is 2 miles downstream from Greentown, in g hours. Find the rate of the current.

Lerok [7]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.  Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water  

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?  

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).


Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour.  On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour.  The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour.  Put this info in the second column in the chart.  Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

Step by step explanation please. i want to try to understand it.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

V_{composite\: figure} =678.24\: in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For a single cylinder:

  • radius (r) = 3 in (Given)

  • height (h) = 8 in (Given)

  • It is given that: all the three cylinders are identical, means their radii and heights are equal.

  • Thus, the volume of composite figure will be equal to three times the volume of single cylinder.

  • \implies V_{composite\: figure} =3(\pi r^2 h)

  • \implies V_{composite\: figure} =3(3.14\times  (3)^2 \times 8)

  • \implies V_{composite\: figure} =3(226.08)

  • \implies V_{composite\: figure} =678.24\: in^3

N Solve for x. Solve for x ​
jolli1 [7]

The sum of the angles of the triangle is 180 degrees, so:

(x + 70) + 76 + 41 = 180

(x + 70) + 117 = 180

x + 70 = 63

x = -7

Hope that helps!
