Answer:

15.65 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem can be used

a² + b² = c²

a being 14
b being unknown ( x )
c being 21

hence,

14² + x² = 21²
196 + x² = 441

x = √245  

  = 15.65 foot (answer)

a boat can travel 30 miles upstream in the same amount of time you can travel 50 miles Downstream. If the speed of the current i
almond37 [142]
Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.
