Answer:

Upstream 18mph              Downstream  36 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Upstream DATA:

distance = 180 miles ; time = 10 hrs ; rate = 180/10= 18 mph

-----

Downstream DATA:

distance = 180 miles ; time = 5 hrs ; rate = 180/5= 36 mph

------

Equation:

Upstream: b - c = 18 mph

Downstream: b + c = 36 mph

Now solve for "b"

solve for "c"

Determine the length of AY if ARAY is a 30°-60°-90° triangle and RY has a length of 48 centimeters.
viva [34]

Answer:

48√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that ∠A = 30°, ∠R = 60°, and ∠Y = 90°.

The sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:√3:2.

RY is opposite the 30° angle and has length 48 cm.

AY is opposite the 60° angle, so the length of AY = 48√3 cm.

Li Ping says a square with 3 inch sides has greater area than a parallelogram that is not a square but has sides that have the s
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Li Ping's statement makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, A_1 = a^{2}.

Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, A_2 = ah, where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.

See the diagram attached.

Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.

So, A_1 > A_2

Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
