Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.
Answer:
I believe the answer is B.Good luck!
Answer:
The length is 26 feet and the width is 23 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l represent the length of the rectangle.
The width can be represented by l - 3, since it is 3 feet less than the length
Set up an equation:
l + l + (l - 3) + (l - 3) = 98
Add like terms and solve for l:
l + l + (l - 3) + (l - 3) = 98
4l - 6 = 98
4l = 104
l = 26
So, the length is 26 feet.
Since the width is l - 3, we can plug this in for l to find the width:
l - 3
26 - 3
= 23
So, the length is 26 feet and the width is 23 feet
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula
1/2 (base) (height)
Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.
16 = 1/2* x* 2x
Let's Simplify!
16 = x^2
Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.
x= positive OR negative 4.
However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.
The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches
