a motor boat traveled 18 miles down a river in 2 hours but took 4.5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the motor boat in
tangare [24]

Answer:

  • rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

Explanation:

<u>1) Name the two variables:</u>

  • c: rate of the current
  • b: rate of the boat in still water:

With that, the net rates of the boat down the river and upstrean are:

  • down the river: b + c
  • upstream: b - c

<u>2) Now set the equations for the distance as a function of the times and the rates:</u>

  • distance = rate × time

  • downstream: 18 miles = (b + c) × 2 hours
  • upstream: 18 miles = (b - c) × 4.5 hours

<u>3) Set the system of equations:</u>

  • 18 = 2(b + c) ⇒ 9 = b + c . .  . Equation (1)
  • 18 = 4.5 (b - c) ⇒ 4 = b - c . . . Equation (2)

<u>4) Solve the system by </u><u>elimination</u><u>:</u>

  • Add equations (1) and (2): 9 + 4 = 2b
  • Divide both sides by 2: 13/2 = b
  • Simplify: b = 6.5

  • Replace b with 6.5 in equation (2) and solve:

       4 = 6.5 - c ⇒ c = 6.5 - 4 = 2.5

<u>5) Results:</u>

  • b = rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • c = rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

A candy store is building a display with two rectangular prism.The base of each prism is a square with an edge length of 5 inche
nordsb [41]
The volume of the display is 900 cubic inches.  

The formula for the volume of a prism is L x W x H. 

In the small shape, we have:  5 x 5 x 12 = 300
In the large shape, we have:  5 x 5 x 24 = 600

Add them together and we have 900 cubic inches.

What is the length of segment BD? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. triangles ABC and ABD in which the triangles share
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

BD = 4.99 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle ABD only.

The angle formed is 31 degrees which occurs between two sides that are AD and BC.

We know that for a right angled triangle, the angle can always be taken as an angle between hypotenuse and base.

Thus, The perpendicular sides is then 3 units, where base is BD and Hypotenuse is AD

Using formula for tanθ

tanθ = Perpendicular/Base

tan31 = 3/BD

0.601 = 3/BD

BD = 3/0.601

BD = 4.99 units

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.
Igoryamba
Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well. 

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>
