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.

Find the third side in simplest radical form:<br> 25
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{  \bold{24}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\mathsf{given}

\mathsf{hypotenuse(h) = 25}

\sf{perpendicular (p) = 7}

\sf{base(b) = }?

Now, Using Pythagoras theorem

\sf{{h}^{2}  =  {p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }

plug the values

⇒\sf{  {25}^{2}  =  {7}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }

Evaluate the power

⇒\sf{625 = 49 +  {b}^{2} }

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{49 +  {b}^{2}  = 625}

Move constant to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{ {b}^{2}  = 625 - 49}

Calculate the difference

⇒\sf{ {b}^{2}  = 576}

Squaring on both sides

⇒\sf{b = 24}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
