x - boat speed; y - current speed; Path = 336:2 = 168 miles
1) 12 * (x + y) = 168; -> x + y = 14;
2) 14 * (x - y) = 168; -> x - y = 12;
1) x = 14 - y;
2) (14 - y) - y = 12;
14 - 2y = 12;
2y = 2;
y = 1 mph
x = 14 - 1 = 13 mph
Answer:
Boat speed = 13 mph
Current speed = 1 mph
Answer:
n = 24
p(a) = 10/24
p(b) = 15/24
[ p(a) + p(b) - [p(a) ×p(b)] ] -1 = answer
[ 35/24 - 6/24 ] -1 = 39/24 - 24/24 = 5/24
Parallelogram area = base * height
240 = base * 20
base = 240 / 20
base = 12 cm
