A motorboat takes

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

let's say the boat's rate is "b" in still water, and the current's rate is "c"

as the boat goes upstream, is not really going "b" fast, the water is not still anyway, is going much slower, is going " b - c ", because the current's rate is eroding speed because is going against the current.

as the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going " b + c " fast, because is going downstream and thus with the current and the current is adding speed to it.  notice, it takes longer going up, 5hrs, then coming down, 3hrs, same 150 on each way.

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&150&b-r&5\\
downstream&150&b+r&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
150=(b-r)5\\
\qquad \frac{150}{5}=b-r\\
\qquad 30=b-r\\
\qquad 30+r=\boxed{b}\\
150=(b+r)3\\
\qquad \frac{150}{3}=b+r\\
\qquad 50=b+r\\
\qquad 50=\boxed{30+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's the boat's rate? well, 30+r = b

RS=2x-8, ST= 11, RT= x+10
swat32

Answer:

X=7 ST=11 RT=17

Step-by-step explanation:

RT=RS+ST. RS= 2(7)-8. ST=11

X+10=2x-8+11. =14-8=6. RT= x+10

X+10=2x+3. RS=6. 7+10=17

10=x+3. RT=17

X=7

Answer:

The correct answer is: \Delta BDE \cong \Delta BFK by <em>rule</em> ASA rule of congruence.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let us prove \Delta BDE \cong \Delta BFK by rule ASA (rule of congruence).

<u>Congruent side:</u>

\overline{BD} \cong \overline{BF} (Given)

<u>Congruent angles:</u>

1. By definition of perpendicular,

\angle{BFK} = 90 \textdegree \ (Since \ \overline{FK} \ is \ perpendicular \ to \ \overline{AB} \ (\overline{FK} \perp \overline{AB} =Given))

Also,

\angle{BDE} = 90 \textdegree \ (Given)

Therefore,

\angle{BDE} \cong \angle{BFK}

or you can say,

\angle{D} \cong \angle{F}

2. Common angle between \Delta BDE \ and \ \Delta BFK is \angle{B}

In a nutshell, in \Delta BDE,

\angle{B} (Angle)

\overline{BD} (Side)

\angle{BDE} (Angle)

are congruent to the following angle, side and angle of \Delta BFK:

\angle{B} (Angle)

\overline{BF} (Side)

\angle{BFK} (Angle)

Therefore, by ASA rule of congruence, we can say \Delta BDE \cong \Delta BFK.

<em>Since both triangles are congruent</em>, the sides \overline{ED} and \overline{FK} are also congruent.
