Speed= distance/time. 6.4/4. 1.6 meters per minute.

Nana76 [90]

Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour

Let speed of the current = y miles per hour

When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)

now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time

we get equation:

(x+y)=160/8

or x+y=20...(i)

When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)

now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time

we get equation:

(x-y)=160/40

or x-y=4

or x=4+y...(ii)

plug value of x into (i)

4+y+y=20

4+2y=20

2y=16

y=8

plug value of y into (ii)

x=4+8=12

Hence final answer is given by:

Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour

Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour

Please solve this in 2 parts as stated... thank you!

Solve the equation we have that:

a. S = 3V²/ 4

b. S = 108 feet

<h3>How to solve the parameters?</h3>

We have the equation to be;

V = 2√3S

Where;

V is the speed
S is the length

Let's make S the subject from the formula, divide both sides by 2√2S = v/ 2. Take square of both sides:

$(\sqrt{3S} )^2 = \frac{V^2}{4}\\3S = \frac{V^2}{4}$

Now we need to divide both sides by three:

S = 3V²/ 4

b. If v = 12miles per hour, substituting in the equation found earlier:

S = 3 (12²)/ 4

S= 432/ 4

S = 108 feet

Thus, the formula for the length is S = 3V²/ 4

Which of the following statements best describes the solution to the problem below?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using rule of negatives and positives:
The rules for multiplication and division are simple: If both numbers are positive, the result is positive. If both numbers are negative, the result is positive. If one number is positive and the other is negative, the result is negative.

This is why C is the correct statement

parallelogram ABCD has vertices A(-2,-51/2), B(-4,-51/2), C(-3,-2), and D(-1,-2). find the vertices of parallelogram A'B'C'D' af

Volgvan

On a coordinate plane, any movement up and down is on the y-axis. So if your parallelogram is moving down 2.5 units, then the y-values of each vertice will go down by 2.5:
A(-2, -8), B(-4, -8), C(-3, -4.5), D(-1, -4.5)
