Sun, a kayaker, paddles 8 miles upstream (against the current) in 2 hours. Returning to her original location, she paddles downs

tream (with the current) the same distance in 1 hour. The equations represent x, the paddling speed, and y, the speed of the current.2(x – y) = a

We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour

ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph

Find the value of x. (Type an integer or decimal.)
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle formed by 2 tangent lines is equal to one half the measure of the major arc minus the measure of the minor arc.

we are given the minor arc ( 110 ) however we are not given the major arc.

Because circles make a 360 degree rotation we can find the major arc by subtracting the measure of the minor arc from 360

Thus, major arc = 360 - 110 = 250

Now that we have identified the major and minor arc we can find x

Recall that x = 1/2 ( major arc - minor arc )

Thus, x = 1/2 ( 250 - 110 )

250 - 110 = 140

140 / 2 = 70

Hence, x = 70
