Answer:

Width of river = 0.25 mile

As length of river is not given , but it is given that  campsite is located 1 mile east upstream, So length of river = 1 mile

Speed of mine in river while going upstream = 3 miles per hour

Speed of current as going Upstream = 1 miles per hour

Now Reduced speed of mine = Speed of mine in river while going upstream - Speed of current as going Upstream

                                              = 3 - 1

                                              = 2 miles per hour

1. There are two ways to reach campsite

(a) either walk 1 mile from starting point in east direction and then swim 0.25 mile in North direction to reach campsite.

Or

(b) From the starting point Considering a right triangle having, base=1 mile and altitude = 0.25 mile, then finding the length of hypotenuse using formula = \sqrt{(altitude)^2 + (Base)^2

=\sqrt{.25^2+1^2}

=√1.0625

=1.03078(approx)

⇒ you must walk a distance of 1 mile in the east direction and then swim 0.25 mile north direction to reach directly at campsite.[shown in the diagram]

I do 10 - 8 for this, right...?
natima [27]
No, you would do 100 - 64 because 10^2 is 100 and 8^2 is 64.
100-64= 36
The square root of 36 is 6. The length of the other leg is 6.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
Lilit [14]

The correct answer is D) y + 1 = 4/3(x - 9)

In order to find this, simply take the point and the slope and plug into the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Use the slope for m and the point for (x1, y1)

y + 1 = 4/3(x - 9)
