Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For a kayak speed of k miles per hour in still water, the speed upstream is (k-2) and the speed downstream is (k+2). Over the distances given, the times are the same, so we can write ...

  10/(k-2) = 14/(k+2)

Multiplying by (k+2)(k-2) gives ...

  10(k+2) = 14(k -2)

  10k +20 = 14k -28 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 4k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 28-10k

  12 = k

Then the time for 28 miles downstream is ...

  time = 28 / (12 +2) = 2 . . . . hours

It will take the person 2 hours to kayak 28 miles downstream.

I need help with this

Answer:

x = 24.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

24² + 5² = x²

576 + 25 = x²

601 = x²

√601 = x
