Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Boat speed = 20 mph

speed of current = x mph

Distance against current = 2 miles

Distance with current = 3 miles

speed against current will be ; 20 - x

speed with current will be ; 20 + x

Time =distance / speed against time against = time with current

Solving Mathematically ;

2/(20-x )=3/(20 +x)

2(20+x )= 3( 20-x )

40+2x = 60-3x

3x +2x=20

5x=20

x = 20 / 5

x = 4 mph

Speed of current = 4 mph

Is P 90 degrees from the origin, Q 180 degrees from the origin, and R 270 degrees from the origin?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)→(-x,-y) (180° about the origin)

1.p(-3,2) ,in the second quadrant

P(-2,-3) is in 4th quadrant.

in the clockwise it is rotation of 270° about the origin.

2.

Q(-4,-5) is in 4th quadrant.

Q(4,5) is in 1st quadrant.

so it is 180° rotation in the clockwise direction.

3.

R(1,7) is in 1st quadrant.

R(7,-1) is in 4th quadrant.

Hence it is 90° rotation about the origin in clockwise direction.
