Answer:

Let  b  =  rate of the boat.

Let  r  =  rate of the river.

The rate going downstream is  b + r.

The rate going upstream is  b - r.

rate x time  =  distance

4(b + r)  =  144     --->     b + r  =  36     [divide both sides by 4]

9(b - r)  =  144      --->     b - r  =  16      [divide both sides by 9]

Add town:                          2b  =  52  

Divide by :                           b  =  26  mi/hr

                                           r  =  10  mi/hr

Which one should I choose?
Nastasia [14]

Given:

A figure of a quadrilateral.

To find:

The measures of angle 1 and angle 2.

Solution:

The given figure has two pairs of congruent adjacent sides. So, the quadrilateral in the figure is a kite.

We know that the diagonals of a kit are perpendicular to each other at the point of intersection.

m\angle 1=90^\circ

According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

90^\circ+65^\circ+m\angle 2=180^\circ

155^\circ+m\angle 2=180^\circ

m\angle 2=180^\circ-155^\circ

m\angle 2=25^\circ

Therefore, the correct option is C.
