Let s be the boy's swim speed. Then:
.9/s+1.5=.6/s-1.5
.6s+.9=.9s-1.35
.3s=2.25
s=7.5 mph as the boy's swimming speed

The width of a box is two-third of it's length and height is one-third of it's length.If the volume of the box is 384 cubic mete
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Length = 12

Width = 8

Height = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of box = l

Width = 2/3 * l

Height = 1/3 * l

Volume of the box = 384 ft³

Volume = Length * width * height

Volume of box = l * 2/3 l * 1/3 l

384 = 2l³ / 9

384 * 9 = 2l³

3456 = 2l³

l³ = 3456 / 2

l³ = 1728

Take the Cube root of 1728

l = 12

Length = 12

Width = 2/3 * 12 = 8

Height = 1/3 * 12 = 4

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure 6 and 5
Pavel [41]
A right triangle is a type of triangle which contains a right triangle. To be a right triangle, it should satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem which relates the three sides of the triangle. In this triangle, the longest side is called as the hypotenuse. To determine the hypotenuse, we use the Pythagorean Theorem which is expressed as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c is the hypotenuse

We calculate as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 6^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 61
c = √61

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides 6 and 5 would be √61 which, clearly, is longer than the two sides.

1 x 5 = 5 km.

She can walk 5 km in 55 minutes.
