Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If b is the speed of the boat in still water, and c is the speed of the current, then:

60 = (b + c) × 4

35 = (b − c) × 3.5

Simplifying:

15 = b + c

10 = b − c

Add the equations together:

25 = 2b

b = 12.5

Plug into either equation to find c:

c = 2.5

The speed of the boat is 12.5 km/h, and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/h.

Answer: The speed of the boat in still water is 12.5 mph and the speed of the current is 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the motorboat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

The motorboat travels 60 km in 4 hours with the current. This means that the total speed of the motor boat would be (x + y) km/h.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by the motorboat with the current is

60 = 4(x + y)

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

15 = x + y-- - - - - - - - - - -1

The motorboat travels 35 km in 3.5 hours against the current. This means that the total speed of the motorboat would be (x - y) km/h.

Distance travelled by the motorboat with the current is

35 = 3.5(x - y)

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

10 = x - y-- - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

25 = 2x

x = 25/2 = 12.5 mph

Substituting x = 12.5 mph into equation 1, it becomes

15 = 12.5 + y

y = 15 - 12.5

y = 2.5 mph

algol [13]

Answer:

The measure of angle x is 26.1\°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we know that

The tangent of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side angle x to the adjacent side angle x

tan(x)=\frac{26}{53}

x=arctan(\frac{26}{53})=26.1\°
