Answer:

3.9 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boy is rowing perpendicular to the current, the two vectors form a right triangle.

AB represents the downstream current, BC is the speed across the river, and AC is the ground speed of the boat

AC^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.1^2 =5.76 + 9.61 = 15.37

AC = sqrt(15.37) = 3.9 mi/h

The boat's speed over the ground is 3.9 mi/h.

Answer:

The number line is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 28 miles per hour relative to the water in going 45 miles upstream and then returning
Sveta_85 [38]
The speed of the current is 7 miles per
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let × represent speed of the current.
We have been given that a motorboat
maintained a constant speed of 11 miles per
hour relative to the water in going 18 miles
upstream and then returning.
The speed of motorboat while going
upstream would be 11
The speed of motorboat while going
downstream would be 11 + 2
