Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
(b is the length of the ladder from the ground)
11x11=6x6+(b^2)
121-36=(b^2)
85=(b^2)
b= 9.219544457292887
b is approximately 9.2
Answer:
7/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 11°
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines suggest we look to the relationships involving angles and transversals. The angle marked 33° and ∠CAB are alternate interior angles, hence congruent:
∠CAB = 33°
5x is the measure of the external angle opposite that internal angle and angle 2x of ΔABC, so it is equal to their sum:
5x = 2x + 33°
3x = 33° . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
x = 11° . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
