A motorboat travels 172 km in 3 hours going upstream and 372 in 4 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of the boat is 75.17 km/h and the rate of the stream is 17.83 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call:

B = speed (rate) of the boat in still water

S = speed (rate) of the stream

The boat travels 172 km in 3 hours when going upstream, that is when the speed of the stream subtracts its own speed. The speed is the distance divided by the time, thus:

[tex]\displaystyle B-S=\frac{172}{3}[/tex]

Multiplying by 3:

3B - 3S = 172        [1]

The boat travels 372 km in 4 hours downstream when the speed of the current adds to its own:

[tex]\displaystyle B+S=\frac{372}{4}=93[/tex]

B + S = 93

Solving for B:

B = 93 - S       [2]

Substituting in [1]

3(93 - S) - 3S = 172

Operating:

279 - 3S - 3S = 172

279 - 6S = 172

Subtracting 279:

- 6S = 172 - 279

- 6S = -107

Multiplying by -1 and solving for S:

[tex]S = \frac{107}{6}\approx 17.83\ km/h[/tex]

From [2]:

[tex]B = 93 - \frac{107}{6}[/tex]

[tex]B=\frac{451}{6}\approx 75.17\ km/h[/tex]

In triangle DEF, CG = (x + 5) units and DG = (3x - 2) units.

Triangle D E F has centroid G. Lines are drawn from each point to the midpoint of the opposite side to form line segments D C, E B, F A.

What is DG?

12 units
17 units
34 units
51 units

Answers

A centroid is the intersection point of the medians of a triangle. The required length of DG is 2.4 unit.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a two dimensional shape bounded by three sides. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The longest side of a triangle is always less than the sum of other two sides.

Given that,

There is a triangle ΔDEF.

The centroid of the given triangle is G.

The medians of the triangle are DC, EB and FA.

CG = (x + 5)

DG = (3x - 2)

Here, CG and DG are parts of the median DC.

Since, centroid of a triangle divides its each medians into the ratio of 2 : 1

in the direction from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The following expression can be written for the given problem,

DG/CG = 1/2

=> (3x - 2)/ (x + 5) = 1/2

=> 2(3x - 2) = x + 5

=> 6x - x = 5 + 4

=> x = 9/5

=> x = 1.8

Thus, DG = (3x - 2)

                = 3 × 1.8 - 2

                = 2.4

Hence, the length of DG is given as 2.4 unit.

In a right triangle, the length of one leg is 20 units. The length of the other leg is 12 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

The required measure of the hypotenuse length is √544. Option D is correct.

In a right triangle, the length of one leg is 20 units. The length of the other leg is 12 units.

What are Pythagorean triplets?  

In a right-angled triangle, its side, such as hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base is Pythagorean triplets.

Here,
Apply Pythagoras' theorem,
(hypotenuse)² = sum of the square of the legs,
(hypotenuse)² = 20² + 12²
(hypotenuse)²  = 544
hypotenuse = √544

Thus, the required measure of the hypotenuse length is √544. Option D is correct.

C. The relationship between the quantities is: add 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

1x = 25y,

2x = 25 + 25 = 50y

3x = 50 + 25 = 75y

4x = 75 + 25 = 100y

As you can see, every time the number goes up on the chart, it goes up by 25 and you can find that out by just simply adding 25 to the first number and seeing if it matches up with the next, (which I did above).

To find:

The value of a and PQ.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\Delta PQR\cong \Delta XYZ[/tex]

[tex]PQ\cong XY[/tex]                            (CPCTC)

So,

[tex]PQ=XY[/tex]

[tex]3a+4=5a-12[/tex]

Isolating variable terms, we get

[tex]3a-5a=-4-12[/tex]

[tex]-2a=-16[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]a=\dfrac{-16}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]a=8[/tex]

Now,

[tex]PQ=3a+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=3(8)+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=24+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=28[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 8 and the value of PQ is 28.

If one of the diagonals of a rectangle is 20cm and the difference between the length and the width is 4cm. What is the area of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

192cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the rectangle is expressed using the formula:

d = √l²+w²

l is the length

w is the width

Given d = 20

20 = √l²+w²

400 = l²+w² .... 1

Since the difference between the length and the width is 4cm, then;

l - w = 4 ... 2

l = 4 + w

Substitute equation 2 into 1;

400 = (4+w)²+w²

400 = 16 +8w + w² +w²

400 = 16 + 8w + 2w²

2w²+8w - 384 = 0

w²+4w - 192 = 0

w = -4±√4²-4(-192)/2

w = -4±√16+768/2

w = -4±28/2

w = -4+28/2

w = 24/2

w = 12

Since l = w+4

l = 12+4

l = 16

Area of the rectangle = 16 * 12

Area of the rectangle = 192cm²
