I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Quadrilateral ABCD must be a rectangle because it is characterized by having <span>opposite sides that are parallel and side AB congruent to side DC which are characteristics of a rectangle.</span>
For this one, an easy way to solve it is to break it down into parts. First lets convert 5 feet to inches.
Multiply the number of feet by how many inches are in one foot.
5 times 12= 60 in
Now just add the like terms
60 in + 2 in= 62 inches.
Now we see that Sarah is 62 inches tall, now we can convert to centimeters the same way.
62 times 2.54= 157.48
So that makes C your answer, Sarah is 157.48 cm tall.
Let, the speed of boat = x
Speed of current = y
So, x + y = 280/7
x + y = 40 ---- first equation
x - y = 280/14
x - y = 20
x = 20 + y
Substitute this value of x in first equation,
20 + y + y = 40
2y = 40 - 20
y = 20/2
y = 10
Substitute this in first equation,
x + 10 = 40
x = 30
In short, Speed of Boat = 30 mph, & speed of current = 10 mph
Hope this helps!
