2(x+5) =20 is the translation
Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles is 180.
A 100 degree angle cannot be a base angle because then
the sum of the base angles would be 200 degrees.
The 100 must be the vertex angle.
Equation:
x + x + 100 = 180
2x = 80
x = 40 degrees.
Each of the base angles is 40 degrees.
area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
