Best Answer: <span> 1.)
x^2 + y^2 = 30^2 since the radius is 30 ft
x^2 + y^2 = 900
2.)
Solving for y
y = √(900 - x^2) </span>
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph

Given that Erica and AAron,are using lottery system to decide who will wash dishes every night.
They put some red and blue power chips and draw each one. If same colour, Aaron will wash and if not same colours Erica will wash
If the game is to be fair, then both should have equal chances of opportunity for washing.
i.e. Probability for Erica washing = Prob of Aaron washing
i.e. P(different chips) = P(same colour chips)
Say there are m red colours and n blue colours.
Both are drawing at the same time.
Hence Prob (getting same colour) = (mC2+nC2)/(m+n)C2
Probfor different colour = mC1+nC1/(m+n)C2
The two would be equal is mC2 +nC2 = m+n
This is possible if mC2 =m and nC2 = n.
Or m = 2+1 =3 and n =3
That for a fair game we must have both colours to be 3.
