Answer:
1. ∠A and ∠B are right angles. Given
2. m∠A = m∠ B All right angles are congruent.
3. ∠BEC≅ ∠AED Vertical angles are congruent
4. ΔCBE ~ ΔDAE AA
Step-by-step explanation:
A proof always begins with the givens.
1. ∠A and ∠B are right angles. -------------->Given
2. m∠A = m∠ B are equal since-----------> All right angles are congruent.
3. ∠BEC≅ ∠AED are also equal since---->Vertical angles are congruent
4. ΔCBE ~ ΔDAE since two angles are equal----------> AA

EXPLANATION
For 
We make y the subject to obtain,

We can easily graph this function, because we just have to transform the graph of
by shifting the intercept up to
.
As for the straight line,
,
We find the intercepts as follows,
When
.
When
.
We plot the points
and
.
We now draw the two graphs on the same graph sheet. The intersection of the two graphs gives the solution to be

Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56
0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11
Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour. Answer is 3 miles per hour
