Answer:

A) d = 48t, d in miles, t in hours

B)d = 32t, d in miles, t in hours

C)y = 8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

16 miles in 20 mins = 48 mph

16 miles in 30 mins = 32 mph

The boat speed is the average = (48 + 32)/2 = 40 mph

The current is the difference = 8 mph

What is the length of side TS?
-Dominant- [34]
We know that

 in the triangle TQS
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
QS</span>²=TS²+TQ²---------> TQ²=QS²-TS²--------> TQ²=18²-9x²-----> equation 1

in the triangle TRS
TS²=TR²+RS²--------------> TR²=TS²-RS²-------> TR²=9x²-144----> equation 2

in the triangle QTR
TQ²=TR²+36-----------> equation 3


<span>I substitute 1 and 2 in 3
</span>18²-9x²=9x²-144+36--------> 18x²-432=0------> x²=24-------> x=√24
x=2√6
TS=3*x------> 3*2√6-----> 6√6
TS=6√6 units

the answer is
TS=6√6 units 
<span>6 is the square root of 6 units</span>
