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.

ANSWER:

As we know, diagonals of parallelogram (||gm) bisect each other.

So, AE = EC

2x - 10 = 8x - 70

2x - 8x = - 70 + 10

- 6x = - 60

x = 10

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIRL! You should add diagrams to these types of questions. It would really help

That 10cm does not mean point C is 10cm. It means the line AB is 10 cm in total.

And since point C is the midpoint, which means that point C cuts the line AB in half, that makes AC = 5cm
