Answer:

Speed of the river = \frac{4}{3} km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the boat in still water = 4 km per hour

Let the speed of the river = v km per hour

Speed of the boat upstream = (4 - v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 6 km = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

                                           = \frac{6}{4-v} hours

Speed of the boat downstream = (4 + v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 12 km = \frac{12}{4+v} hours

Since, time taken by the boat in both the cases is same,

\frac{6}{4-v}= \frac{12}{4+v}

6(4 + v) = 12(4 - v)

24 + 6v = 48 - 12v

12v + 6v = 48 - 24

18v = 24

v = \frac{24}{18}

v = \frac{4}{3} km per hour

What is the area of the figure? Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

81.12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area for a semicircle can be figured with this formula: (πr²)/2. The triangle's area formula is bh/2.

(3.14 * 4²)/2 + (14 * 8)/2 <em>(Work the operations in parentheses first.)</em>

(3.14 * 16)/2 + 112/2

50.24/2 + 112/2 (<em>Divide 50.24 by 2. Do the same for 112.)</em>

25.12 + 56 (<em>Add 25.12 & 56.)</em>

81.12 cm²

The area of the figure is 81.12 cm².

The inequality x+c&gt;-2.55 has the solution x&gt;4.85 What is the value of c? How do you know?​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

\large\boxed{c=-7.4}

Step-by-step explanation:

x+c>-2.55\qquad\text{subtract c from both sides}\\\\x>-2.55-c\\\\\text{We have the solution}\ x>4.85.\ \text{Therefore}\\\\-2.55-c=4.85\qquad\text{add 2.55 to both sides}\\\\-2.55+2.55-c=4.85+2.55\\\\-c=7.4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\c=-7.4
