let
r--------> Alvin's average paddling rate in km/hour
y -------> speed of the current
in km/hour
we know that
speed= distance/time
------> solve for distance
distance=speed*time
to Campsite against the current
speed=r-y-----> speed=(r-3)
time=8 hours
distance=(r-3)*8------> equation 2
From Campsite with the current
speed=r+y-----> speed=(r+3)
time=3 hours
distance=(r+3)*3------> equation 1
equate equation 1 and equation 2-----> because is the same distance
(r+3)*3=(r-3)*8----> 3r+9=8r-24----> 8r-3r=24+9-----> 5r=33----> r=6.6 km/hour
therefore
the answer is
Alvin's average paddling rate is 6.6 km/hour
Answer:
200.96 = area of Shaded portions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the 2 stars.
I don't know if you can see this or not, but the 4 quarter circles surrounding the star is found by subtracting a full small square surrounding the star
Area of 1 star = 4 * (1/4) pi * r^2
Area of 1 star = 3.14 * 4^2
Area of 1 star = 50.24
Area of both stars = 100.48
Area of the 4 semicircles at each end
The 2 semicircles at one end figure = 1 circle
The two circles gives the total area of the 4 semicircles.
Area 1 circle = pr * r^2
Area 1 circle = 3.14 * (8/2)^2
Area 1 circle = 50.24
There are 2 such circles = 100.48
Total area of both results
Total Area = 100.48 + 100.48
Total Area = 200.96
This is poorly written, but as i understand:
We have the general equation:
y = x + i
where i is a constant, and we want this function to pass through the point x = 2 and y = 3.
Then we must find the value of y, we know that when x= 2 we also must have y = 3, so we can replace those two values in the equation above and get
y = 3 = x + i = 2 + i
3 = 2 + i
3 - 2 = i
1 = i
So our equation is y = x + 1
Answer: (-5,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
graphing the two equations on a calculator gets the point (-5,5)
