The current of a river is 3 miles per hour. A boat travels to a point 176 miles upstream and 176 miles back in 19 hours. What is

the speed of the boat to the nearest tenth in water without a current?

Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

Answer:

-1/2, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

(x -7)(-4x -2)=0

This means that;

x - 7  = 0 and -4x - 2 = 0

x = 0+7 snd -4x = 2

x = 7 and x =  -2/4

x = 7 and -1/2

Hence the solution from least to greatest is -1/2, 7

A pencil consists of a cone stacked on top of a cylinder. The diameter of the cylindrical base of the pencil is 10 mm and the he

Answer:

790π

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Diameter of cylinder;d = 10 mm

So, radius;r = 10/2 = 5 mm

Height of cylinder;h = 70mm

Surface area of cylinder is given by the formula; S.A = 2πr² + 2πrh

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;S.A = 2π(5)² + 2π(5)(70)

S.A = 50π + 700π

S.A = 750π

Now, because one base of the cylinder is hidden as the cone is stacked on that face, we will deduct the area of that base face;

Thus, Surface area = 750π - π(5)² = 750π - 25π = 725π

For the cone,

Height;h = 12mm

Since this is stacked directly on the cylinder, it will have the same radius. Thus; radius;r = 5mm

Now,formula for surface area of cone is;

S.A = πr² + πrL

Where L is slant height.

We can use pythagoras theorem to get L.

So, L² = r² + h²

L = √r² + h²

L = √(5² + 12²)

L = √(25 + 144)

L = √169

L = 13

So, S.A of cone = π(5)² + (π×5×13)

S.A = 25π + 65π = 90π

Similar to what was done to the Cylinder, since the circular base of the cone is stacked on the cylinder, we will deduct the surface area of that base as it is hidden.

So, S.A is now = 90π - π(5)²

= 90π - 25π = 65π

Thus,total surface area of the pencil = 725π + 65π = 790π
