The rate of the kayak in still water is 3.5 mph
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that It takes 3 hours to paddle a kayak 12 miles downstream
Distance covered in downstream = 12 miles
Time taken to cover downstream = 3 hours
Also given that it takes 4 hours for the return trip upstream
Distance covered in upstream = 12 miles
Time taken to cover upstream = 4 hours
<em><u>Formula to remember:</u></em>
If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then: Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr and Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr
Let the speed of Kayak in still water = x mph
And The speed of current = y mph
For downstream:
Speed downstream = x + y
We know that
x + y = 4 ------ eqn 1
<em><u>For upstream:</u></em>
Speed upstream = x - y
x - y = 3 -------- eqn 2
Now let us eqn 1 and eqn 2
Add eqn 1 and eqn 2
x + y + x - y = 4 + 3
2x = 7
x = 3.5
speed of Kayak in still water = x mph = 3.5 mph
Answer:
(-1.92, 1.08)
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>incenter</em> is the center of the largest circle that can be inscribed in the triangle. That circle is called the <em>incircle</em>. The incenter is at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors. For a right triangle, the <em>inradius</em> (the radius of the incircle), is found from a simple formula:
r = (a + b - c)/2 . . . . . where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the legs
In your triangle, the inradius is ...
r = (5 + 3 -√(5² +3²))/2 = 4 -√8.5 ≈ 1.08452
Among other things, this means the coordinates of the incenter are about (1.08, 1.08) from the right angle vertex, so are about ...
incenter ≈ (-1.92, 1.08)
