Answer:

  • boat: 72 km/h
  • current: 16 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed difference between boat and current is the upstream rate:

  (448 km)/(8 h) = 56 km/h

The sum of speeds of boat and current is the downstream rate:

  (440 km)/(5 h) = 88 km/h

The rate of the boat is half the sum of these:

  (56 +88)/2 = 72 . . . km/h

The rate of the current is half their difference:

  (88 -56)/2 = 16 . . . km/h

The rate of the boat is 72 km/h; the rate of the current is 16 km/h.

What is the volume of the solid?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

  (9√3 -3π/2) ft^3 ≈ 10.88 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the hexagon is given by the formula ...

  A = (3/2)√3·s^2 . . . . for side length s

The area of the hexagonal face of this solid is ...

  A = (3/2)√3·(2 ft)^2 = 6√3 ft^2

__

The area of the circular hole in the hexagonal face is ...

  A = πr^2

The radius is half the diameter, so is r = (2 ft)/2 = 1 ft.

  A = π(1 ft)^2 = π ft^2

Then the area of the "solid" part of the face of the figure is ...

  A = (6√3 -π) ft^2

__

The volume is ...

  V = Bh . . . . . where B is the area of the base of the prism, and h is its height

  V = ((6√3 -π) ft^2)(3/2 ft) = (9√3 -3π/2) ft^3 ≈ 10.88 ft^3
