Let's compute the speeds as she goes up and down of the climbing wall. Speed is the ratio of distance to time.
Speed going up = 5 ft/(2min * 60 s/1 min) = 1/24 ft/s
Speed going down = 2 ft/10 s = 0.2 ft/s
Net speed = 1/24 ft/s - 0.2 ft/s = 5/24 ft/s
Using this net speed, we can already calculate for the total time:
Speed = Distance/Time
5/24 ft/s = 26 ft/Time
Time = 124.8 seconds or 2.08 minutes
The circumcenter of a triangle is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors.It is the center of the triangle's circumcircle. And a circumcircle is the circumscribed circle of the triangle. This unique circle passes through each of the triangle's three vertices. According to these definitions the following statement is true:
Point H is the center of the circle that passes through points D, E, and F.
There are two triangles that exist in this problem. First is the given triangle ABC, witch AB = BC = 6 and AC = 8
Next is the smaller triangle formed by connecting points D and E; triangle EAD, with EA = AD = 3 and the length of DE is unknown.
Because these triangles are similar, a simple ratio may be set up in order to calculate DE.
DE / AC = EA / AB
DE = 3/6 * 8
DE = 4 units
Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph
