Answer:

  • 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of current be x

<u>Speed of the boat in same direction as current is</u>

  • 10 + x

<u>Speed against the current is</u>

  • 10 - x

<u>Based on the given we get the equation for time</u>

  • 6/(10 + x) = 4/(10 - x)

<u>Solving for x</u>

  • 6(10 - x) = 4(10 + x)
  • 60 - 6x = 40 + 4x
  • 6x + 4x = 60 - 40
  • 10x = 20
  • x = 2

The answer is 2 mph

A point is randomly chosen in the diagram shown below. What is the likelihood that a point chosen inside the square will also be
s2008m [1.1K]
Side of the square: s
Area of the square: As=s^2

Diameter of the circle: d=s
Area of the circle: Ac=pi d^2/4
Ac=pi s^2/4; pi=3.1416
Ac=3.1416 s^2/4
Ac=0.7854 s^2

<span>The likelihood that a point chosen inside the square will also be inside the circle: P=?
P=Ac/As=0.7854 s^2 / s^2
P=0.7854
P=0.7854 * 100%
P=78.54%

</span>The likelihood that a point chosen inside the square will also be inside the circle is 0.7854 or 78.54%
