Answer:

Correct answer: V₁ boat = 16 km/h and V₂ current = 4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take speed (velocity) of the boat as V₁ and speed of the current V₂

Let us form equations:

Traveling down the current  V₁ + V₂ = 60/3 = 20 km/h

Traveling against the current  V₁ - V₂ = 60/5 = 12 km/h

V₁ - V₂ = 12

V₁ + V₂ = 20

If we add up the left and right sides of the equations we get:

2 V₁ = 32  =>    V₁ = 32/2 = 16 km/h

from the second equation we get:

V₂ = 20 - V₁ = 20 - 16 = 4 km/h

V₂ = 4 km/h

Express in simplest radical form.<br> V40
Andrews [41]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{2 \sqrt{10}}

Step-by-step explanation:

When taking a square root and making it a radical, we need to list out it's factors and find which one we can take the square root of.

The factors of 40 are:

1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.

Out of these, we need to look for one that we can find the square root of.

We know that the square root of 4 is 2.

Therefore, we can make \sqrt{40} into \sqrt{4 \cdot 10}.

The square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, we can put that outside the radical.

2 \sqrt{10}.

Hope this helped!
