Garth can row 5 miles per hour in still water. It takes him as long to row 4 miles upstream as 16 miles
downstream. How fast is the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the current is 3 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations for rate (r), distance (d), and time (t) are ⇒ d = rt, r = d/t, = t = d/r

Let x = speed in still water

Let c = speed of the current

The main difference with these problems is rate needs to be expressed using two variables  because moving upstream the current is against you and downstream it moves with you.

Distance Rate Time

Upstream x − c

Downstream x + c

The distance column with the numbers from the problem and the value for speed in  still water for x.

Distance Rate Time

Upstream 4 5 − c

Downstream 16 5 + c

The column for time using the other two columns knowing that  rate,  distance  ⇒ time =  Distance Rate Time

Upstream 4 5 − c

5 − c

4

Downstream 16 5 + c

5 + c

16

“It takes as long …” from the problem means that the two times are equal to each other.  So, the equation can be written as:

4/5− c = 16/5 + c  ⇒ Solve by cross-multiplying ⇒ 5(4 + c) = 16 5( − c) ⇒ c = 3

In triangle NOP p equals 600 inches angle P equals 96° and angle N equals 64° what is the area of triangle NOP to the nearest 10th of a square inch?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  55,637.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find side n using the Law of Sines:

  n/sin(N) = p/sin(P)

  n = p(sin(N)/sin(P)) = 600·sin(64°)/sin(96°)

  n ≈ 542.246913 . . . . inches

The angle O is ...

  O = 180° -N -P = 180° -64° -96° = 20°

Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2·np·sin(O)

  A = (1/2)(542.246913 in)(600 in)·sin(20°) ≈ 55,637.81008 in²

The area of ∆NOP is about 55,637.8 in².

2. x+y=22
x+2y=48

3. x+y=45
x+2y=36

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x+ 2(7-x) = 11

x+14-2x = 11

-x = -3

x = 3

3+ y = 7

y = 4

x + 2(22-x) = 48

x + 44 -2x = 48

-x = 4

x = -4

-4 + y = 22

y = 26

y = 45-x

x + 2(45-x) = 36

x + 90 -2x = 36

-x = 54

x = -54

-54 + y = 45

y = 99

Answer:

1. x=3 and y=4

2. x=−4 and y=26

3. x=54 and y=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x+y=7;x+2y=11

Step: Solvex+y=7for x:

x+y+−y=7+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+7

Step: Substitute −y+7 for x in x+2y=11:

x+2y=11

−y+7+2y=11

y+7=11(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+7+−7=11+−7(Add -7 to both sides)

y=4

Step: Substitute 4 for y in x=−y+7:

x=−y+7  

x=−4+7

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

2. x+y=22;x+2y=48

Step: Solve x+y=22 for x:

x+y+−y=22+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+22

Step: Substitute−y+22 for x in x+2y=48:

x+2y=48

−y+22+2y=48

y+22=48(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+22+−22=48+−22(Add -22 to both sides)

y=26

Step: Substitute26 for y in x=−y+22:

x=−y+22

x=−26+22

x=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3. x+y=45;x+2y=36

Step: Solve x+y=45 for x:

x+y+−y=45+−y(Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+45

Step: Substitute−y+45 for x in x+2y=36:

x+2y=36

−y+45+2y=36

y+45=36(Simplify both sides of the equation)

y+45+−45=36+−45(Add -45 to both sides)

y=−9

Step: Substitute−9 for y in x=−y+45:

x=−y+45

x=−(−9)+45

x=54(Simplify both sides of the equation)

A rectangular carport has area of one 50 ft.The width of the carport is 5 feet less than twice its length. Find the length and width of the carport

Width= ? feet,
Length= ? feet

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Length = 10ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 15ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]W= Width\\ L = Length[/tex]

[tex]Area = 150[/tex]

[tex]W=2*L- 5[/tex]

Required

Determine the dimension

Area is calculated as:

[tex]Area = L * W[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L * W = 150[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]W=2*L- 5[/tex]

[tex]L * (2*L-5) = 150[/tex]

[tex]L * (2L-5) = 150[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]2L^2 - 5L = 150[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]2L^2 - 5L - 150=0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]2L^2 -20L + 15L - 150 = 0[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]2L(L -10) + 15(L - 10) = 0[/tex]

[tex](2L + 15) (L - 10) = 0[/tex]

Split

[tex]2L + 15=0[/tex] or [tex]L -10 = 0[/tex]

Solve for L

[tex]2L =-15[/tex] or [tex]L = 10[/tex]

L cannot be negative

So:

[tex]L = 10[/tex]

Substitute [tex]L = 10[/tex] in [tex]W=2*L- 5[/tex]

[tex]W = 2 * 10 - 5[/tex]

[tex]W = 20 - 5[/tex]

[tex]W = 15[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]Length = 10ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 15ft[/tex]

What happens to the volume of a sphere if its radius is ​multiplied by 6?

Answers

Answer:

216 times the original

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume 1 = 4/3 πr³

volume 2 = 4/3 π(6r)³

v 2 / v 1 = 6³ = 216

When the radius of a sphere is multiplied by 6, the volume is multiplied by 216

How to determine the volume?

Let the radius of the sphere be r

The volume of a sphere of radius, r is calculated as:

v = 4/3 πr³

When multiplied by 6, the radius becomes:

R = 6r

The new volume is then calculated as:

V = 4/3 π(6r)³

Divide both volumes

V/v = 4/3 π(6r)³ / 4/3 πr³

Evaluate the quotient

V/v = 6³

V/v = 216

Hence, when the radius of a sphere is multiplied by 6, the volume is multiplied by 216
