A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. The return trip upstream (against the current) takes 90 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes.

The return trip upstream (against the current) takes 90 minutes.

To Find :

The speed of stream and motorboat.

Solution :

Let, speed of stream is u and speed of motorboat is v.

Now, we know distance is same in both case.

Distance( downstream ) = speed × time

[tex]9 = ( v +u ) \times 0.5\\\\v + u = 18[/tex]....1)

Distance( upstream ) = speed × time

[tex]9 = ( v- u ) \times 1.5\\\\v-u = 6[/tex]....2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 , we get :

v = 12 miles/hour and u = 6 miles/hour

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

The speed of the stream is 6 mph, and the speed of the boat is 12 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Downstream:

9 miles in 30 minutes (0.5 hour).

9 mi / 0.5 h = 18 mph

Upstream:

9 miles in 90 minutes (1.5 h).

9 mi / 1.5 h = 6 mph

Let s = speed of stream.

The speed of the stream adds to the speed of the boat downstream and is subtracted fromt he speed of the boat upstream.

Let speed of boat be b.

b + s = 18

b - s = 6

Add the equations.

2b = 24

b = 12

b + s = 18

12 + s = 18

s = 6

The speed of the stream is 6 mph, and the speed of the boat is 12 mph.

Which similarity statement expresses the relationship between the two triangles?

triagleZYX- triangleCAB

triangleZYX-triangleACB

triangleZYX-triangleCBA

triangleZYX - triangleABC

Answers

Given:

The figure of two triangles.

To find:

The similarity statement for the given triangles.

Solution:

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

In the given triangles,

[tex]\dfrac{XY}{AB}=\dfrac{6}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{XY}{AB}=0.5[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]\dfrac{YZ}{BC}=\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{YZ}{BC}=0.5[/tex]

And,

[tex]\dfrac{XZ}{AC}=\dfrac{7}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{XZ}{AC}=0.5[/tex]

Since [tex]\dfrac{XY}{AB}=\dfrac{YZ}{BC}=\dfrac{XZ}{AC}[/tex], therefore

[tex]\Delta XYZ\sim \Delta ABC[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]\Delta ZYX\sim \Delta CBA[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Between 02 30 and 05 15, the same day ,the volume of water in a reservoir increased from 1500 L to 14 700 L. What was the average rate of increased in volume of water, giving your answer in L/h?

Answers

Answer:

4,800

Step-by-step explanation:

(14,700- 1,500) / 2 h 45 m

= 13,200 / 2.75

= 4,800 L/h

Time in minutes between 2 30 and 5 15 = 165 minutes= 2.75 hrs

raise in water level = 14700-1500= 13200

the average rate of increased in volume of water, giving your answer in L/h = 13200/2.75 = 4800 L/h

A rug like a rectangle has a width of 3 m . The length of the rug is 2 m greater than its widith . What is the perimeter of the rug in meters
