Answer:

  2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  distance = speed × time

The boat's progress upriver can be modeled by ...

  (10 -c)(3/4) +(0 -c)(3) = 0

  7.5 -3.75c = 0 . . . . simplify

  2 -c = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3.75

  c = 2 . . . . . . add c

The speed of the current is 2 km per hour.

Which descriptions can describe more than one triangle? check all that apply
babunello [35]

Answer:

Angle measurements of 35°, 35°, and 110°

Angle measurements of 40°, 60°, and 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you specify only the three angles, you can have an infinite number of similar triangles of different sizes.

A is wrong. There can be only one triangle in which all three side lengths are specified.

C is wrong. The angles do not add up to 180°.

Find an equation of the parabola with vertex (-1, -5) and directrix x=-7.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Base on the vertex (h, k) and the distance p between vertex and directrix, the standard form of parabola is written as:

(x – h)^2 = 4*p(y – k)

We have (-1, -5) as vertex.

=> (x + 1)^2 = 4*p(y + 5)

Now, we find p:

The distance between (-1, -5) and x = -7 is calculated by:

|-1 -(-7)| = |6| = 6

=> (x + 1)^2 = 4*6(y + 5)

=> (x + 1)^2 = 24(y + 5)

Hope this helps!
