When traveling with the current, it takes Kamal 1 hour to travel 12 miles on a boat. It takes the boat 1.5 hours to travel the same 12 miles when traveling against the current. Assuming the boat travels at a constant speed during both trips, what is the speed of the boat and the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the rate / speed of the boat is 10 miles per hour.

the rate / speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

r = rate of boat (speed of boat)

t = time

d = distance.

c = rate of current (speed of current)

with the current, the formula becomes (r + c) * t = d

against the current, the formula becomes (r - c) * t = d

going with the current, the boat takes 1 hour to travel 12 miles.

therefore:

(r + c) * t = d becomes (r + c) * 1 = 12

going against the current, the boat takes 1.5 hour to travel the same 12 miles.

therefore:

(r - c) * t = d becomes (r - c) * 1.5 = 12.

your two equations that need to be solved simultancously are:

(r + c) * 1 = 12

(r - c) * 1.5 = 12

divide both sides of the second equation by 1.5 and leave the first equaion as is to get:

 

r + c = 12

r - c = 8

add the equations together to get:

2 * r = 20

solve for r to get:

r = 20 / 2 = 10

(r + c) * 1 = 12 becomes (10 + c) * 1 = 12

simplify to get 10 + c = 12

solve for c to get c = 12 - 10 = 2

(r - c) * 1 = 8 becomes (10 - c) * 1 = 8

simplify to get 10 - c = 8

solve for c to get c = 10 - 8 = 2

you have:

r = 10

c = 2

that's your solution.

the rate / speed of the boat is 10 miles per hour.

the rate / speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

What is the sum of the interior
angle measures of a polygon
that has 7 sides?
Sum = [?]
Hint: Sum = (n-2)180

Answers

Answer:

Sum = 900 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = (n-2)180

=(7-2)180

=(5)180

=900

Answer:

900 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is : ( n - 2) × 180°. when n is number of sides.

Sum of angles = ( n-2) × 180

Sum of angles = (7-2) × 180

Sum of angles = 5 × 180

Sum of angles = 900 degrees

The area of the white square is 64 square units. The diagonal of the square was extended to point A until the length of segment AB was double the length of the diagonal of the square. What is the area of the gray part?

Answers

Answer:

Area of the gray region = 64 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the white square = 64 square units

Length of a side of the given square = [tex]\sqrt{\text{Area}}[/tex]

                                                             = [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex]

                                                             = 8 units

By Pythagoras theorem,

Length of diagonal DB = [tex]\sqrt{BC^2+CD^2}[/tex]

DB = [tex]\sqrt{8^2+8^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]8\sqrt{2}[/tex]

AD = DB = [tex]8\sqrt{2}[/tex] [Given]

OD = OC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(DB)[/tex]

               = 4√2

Therefore, AO = AD + OD = 8√2 + 4√2

                                           = 12√2

Area of ΔACD = Area of ΔAOC - Area of ΔCOD

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(AO)(OC)-\frac{1}{2}(CO)(OD)[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[(12\sqrt{2}\times 4\sqrt{2})-(4\sqrt{2})^2][/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[96-32][/tex]

                        = 32

Therefore, area of gray part = Area of ΔACD + Area of ΔAED

                                               = 32 + 32

                                               = 64 square units

Answer:

64 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Capacity\ at\ 60\% = 540000[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

this is an example

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few different ways to approach this problem, including the following two methods.

 

1) Find 20% of the original price, then subtract that amount from the original price. 

    To find a percentage of a number, you multiply the number by the percentage.  (You are finding a part of a whole.)

    

                   20% = 20/100 = 1/5    or   20% = 0.20

 

    Original Price: $24   Find 20% of $24.                         (Note: "of" is taking part of a whole, so you multiply.)

                

                    0.20 x 24 = 4.80            This is the mark down, or the amount you subtract from original price.

   

    Sale Price = Original Price - Mark Down   

                   =   24.00 - 4.80

                   =   19.20

 

2) If you save 20%, you are still paying 80%. (100-20 = 80) Therefore the sale price is 80% of the original price.

 

                    80% = 80/100 = 4/5     or    80% = 0.80

 

     Sale Price = 80% of Original Price

                    = 0.80 x 24

                    = 19.20
