A boat takes 4 hours to go 12 miles upstream. It can go 32 miles downstream in the same time. Find the rate of the current and t

he rate of the boat in still water.​ (Hint: Because the current pushes the boat when it is going​ downstream, the rate of the boat downstream is the sum of the rate of the boat and the rate of the current. The current slows down the boat when it is going​ upstream, so the rate of the boat upstream is the difference of the rate of the boat and the rate of the​ current.)

The speed upstream is the difference between the boat speed and the current speed. It is (12 mi)/(4 h) = 3 mph.

The speed downstream is the sum of the boat speed and the current speed. It is (32 mph)/(4 h) = 8 mph.

The speed of the boat is the average of these: (3 + 8)/2 = 5.5 mph.

The speed of the current is that less the difference: 5.5 - 3 = 2.5 mph.

_____

<u>Check</u>

Boat + Current = 5.5 + 2.5 = 8 mph

Boat - Current = 5.5 - 2.5 = 3 mph

Musya8 [376]

Therefore, the formula for the volume of the sphere can be derived by writing an expression that represents the volume of C. The solid between the two cones and the cylinder

<h3>What is the Volume of a Sphere?</h3>

This refers to the capacity of a sphere, which is the maximum that can be contained in the sphere. This is denoted as V=4/3πr3

Hence, we can see that based on Cavalieri’s principle that states that if two solids of equal height have equal cross-sectional areas, then the two solids have equal volume.

Therefore, the two shaded solids both have a height of 2r units, and thus, to derive the function, we would have to write an expression that represents the volume of the solids between the  two cones and the cylinder

You can use the pythagoras theorem.

20^2=5^2+x^2

x^2=400-25
x^2=375

x = 19.36

20-19.36=0.64 feet

The answer is 0.64 feet :)
