Answer:

Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance / time

or

Distance= Speed * time

Let s be speed of the boat upstream and r be the speed of the river.

Then

Upstream speed=  s- r = 60/6= 10 miles per hour

Downstream speed= s+r= 72/6= 12 miles per hour

Therefore

s-r= 10--------- equation A

s+r= 12--------- equation B

Adding equation A and Eq. b

s-r= 10--------- equation A

<u>s+r= 12--------- equation B     </u>

<u>2s    = 22                             </u>

<u />

or

s= 22/2= 11 miles per hour.

Speed of boat in still water = 11 miles per hour.

Find the volume of the L shaped composite prism, show clearly how you got your answers
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

  510 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall height of the front face is 9+2 = 11 cm.

The overall width of the front face is 6+4 = 10 cm.

Out of that 11 cm by 10 cm rectangle, a cutout is made in the upper right corner. The area of that cutout (in the plane of the front face) is 2 cm high by 4 cm wide.

Then the area of the front face is ...

  (11 cm)(10 cm) -(2 cm)(4 cm) = 110 cm² -8 cm² = 102 cm²

The volume of the prism can be found using the formula ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the "base" of the prism, and h is its height. Here, the "base" is the front face, and the height is the dimension marked 5 cm. The volume is ...

  V = (102 cm²)(5 cm) = 510 cm³

The volume of the prism is 510 cm³.

Answer:

1. m<T =72 , m<U =54

2. EF= 18 in. , m<F=134'

3. x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. <s=<u , there is 180' in a triangle total so 180- <S - <U = <T

180 - 54 - 54 = 72

2. ef = gf

180 - 23 - 23 = 134

3. since bottom 2 angles are = , the 2 sides are also =
