Volume = 1/3a^2h
v= 1/3 x 8.2^2 x 5.3
v=118.79066666667 in^3
Answer:
- boat: 6 mph
- current: 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...
speed = distance/time
For boat speed b and current speed c, the speed downstream is ...
b +c = (16 mi)/(2 h) = 8 mi/h
The speed upstream is ...
b -c = (16 mi)/(4 h) = 4 mi/h
Adding the two equations eliminates the c term:
2b = 12 mi/h
b = 6 mi/h . . . . . divide by 2
Solving the second equation for c, we get ...
c = b -4 mi/h = 6 mi/h -4 mi/h = 2 mi/h
The speed of the boat in still water is 6 mi/h; the current is 2 mi/h.
