Answer:

7.09 mph

30.87 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\theta=77^{\circ} 48'=77+\frac{48}{60}=77.8^{\circ}

1 degree=60 minute

The speed of boat in still water=v=31.7mph

We have to find the speed of the current and the actual speed of the motorboat.

\theta'=90-77.8=`2.92^{\circ}

Speed of the current=vsin\theta'

Speed of the current=31.7sin12.92=7.09 mph

Actual speed of the motorboat=vcos\theta'=31.7cos12.92=30.87mph

HELP! last one of the day!
quester [9]
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
