Answer: the speed of the current is 9 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the current.

A boat can travel 21 mph in still water. If it travels 270 miles with the current. It means that the total speed with which the boat travelled with the current is (21 + x) mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by the boat in travelling 270 miles is

270/(21 + x)

In the same length of time, it travels 108 miles against the current. It means that the total speed with which the boat travelled against the current is (21 - x) mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by the boat in travelling 108 miles is

108/(21 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

270/(21 + x) = 108/(21 - x)

270(21 - x) = 108(21 + x)

5670 - 270x = 2268 - 108x

108x + 270x = 5670 - 2268

378x = 3402

x = 3402/378

x = 9

Can someone explain part c to me please?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

)  = 23 °C

ii) = 4.4° C

Step-by-step explanation:

i) The temperature on the surface of the planet.

At the surface of the planet the height is Zero

Therefore, X = 0

Thus; using the equation, the temperature, y will be;

y = 23 - 5x

y = 23 - 5(0)

  = 23 °C

ii) the temperature change for every kilometer from the surface,

From the equation;

y = 23 - 5x

we take, y to be 1

Therefore;

1 = 23 -5x , subtracting 23 on both sides we get

-22 = -5x

x = -22/-5

 = 4.4° C

Please help i am stuck
balu736 [363]

Explanation:

All of these are done the same way.

1. Set your compass to a distance slightly longer than the distance from the point to the line you want the perpendicular to.

2. Using the point as a center, draw an arc that intersects the line in 2 places. Consider those points to be "P" and "Q".

3. You can leave the compass as is, or set it to any other distance longer than half the distance between P and Q. Using this radius, and using P and Q as centers, draw intersecting arcs on the other side of the line from the original point. Consider the intersection of those arcs to be point "R".

4. A line through the original point and point R will be perpendicular to the line, as you want.

_____

In problem 1, the point and line are obvious.

In problem 2, the point is the vertex opposite the line of interest. (There will be 3 similar constructions.)
