S=speed of the boat
C=current
Speed upstream = (s-c)
Speed downstream = (s+c)
Distance=time*speed
3(s+c)=72
s+c=24
6(s-c)=60
s-c=10

Use the elimination process to solve the system of equations
s+c=24; s-c=10
2s=34
s=17 mph boat speed

Find the current:
s+c=24
17+c=24
c=24-17
c=7

Check your solutions: 3(s+c)=72 and 6(s-c)=60
3(24)=72
6(10)=60

Sketch the points (0,5,2),(4,0,-1),(2,4,6) and(1,-1,2) o a single set of coordinate axes?
nordsb [41]

Explanation:

As points have three coordinates i.e. x, y and z hence the sketch of the given four points is drawn in 3D shape and for that picture is attached here with this answer.

Points are given in the format as below

(value of x-coordinate , value of y-coordinate , value of z-coordinate)

In the attachment:

Point A = (0,5,2) (in blue color)

Point B = (4,0,-1) (in purple color)

Point C = (2,4,6) (in orange color)

Point D = (1,-1,2) (in black color)

I need someone to answer this question the answer choices are below
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The answer is A, 18.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points are 6 places apart, so that can be 6 units as radius. To find the circumference of a circle you do r x 3.14 (to abbreviate pi). 6 x 3.14 is 18.84 so A is your answer.
