A boat covers 25 km upstream and 44 km downstream in t hours. Also, it covers 15 km upstream and 22 km downstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and that of the stream.​

Answer:

  boat speed: (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

  stream speed: (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

The boat speed (b) is added to the stream speed (s) going downstream. The stream speed is subtracted going upstream. The given relations tell us ...

  25/(b-s) +44/(b+s) = t

  15/(b-s) +22/(b+s) = 5

This gives us 2 equations in 3 unknowns, so we can only provide a solution in terms of one of the unknowns. Since we are asked for the speeds, they will be provided in terms of t.

Subtracting the first equation from 2 times the second gives ...

  2(15/(b-s) +22/(b+s)) -(25/(b-s) +44/(b+s)) = 2(5) -(t)

  5/(b-s) = 10 -t

  5/(10 -t) = b -s

Substituting for b-s in the second equation gives ...

  15/(5/(10-t)) +22/(b+s) = 5

  30 -3t +22/(b+s) = 5

  22/(b+s) = 3t -25

  22/(3t -25) = b+s

Adding the equations for the sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b-s) +(b+s) = 5/(10-t) +22/(3t -25)

  2b = (5(3t -25) +22(10 -t))/((10-t)(3t-25)) = (95 -7t)/((10-t)(3t-25))

  b = (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

Subtracting the equations for sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b+s) -(b-s) = 22/(3t -25) -5/(10 -t)

  2s = (22(10-t) -5(3t -25))/((10-t)(3t-25))

 s = (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

__

The speed of the boat in still water is (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

The speed of the stream is (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

__

Note that these solutions only make sense for values of t between 25/3 and 345/37, approximately 8.33 < t < 9.32. For t=9 hours, the boat speed is 8 km/h and the stream speed is 3 km/h.

A cell phone tower is anchored by two cables on each side for support. The cables stretch from the top of the tower to the ground, with each being equidistant from the base of the tower. The angle of depression from the top of the tower to the point in which the cable reaches the ground is 23 degrees. If the tower is 140 feet tall, find the ground distance between the cables. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

659.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 140 / tan 23  

x = 329.82(rounded to hundredth)

so total ground distance between the cables = 2x = 2(329.82) = 659.64 feet

What is the perimeter of the triangle?

Answers

The perimeter of the triangle is 34.2 units

How to determine the value

To determine the value of the perimeter, we need to know the following;

A triangle has three sidesA triangle has three anglesThe sum total of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degreesA triangle is a 3 - sided polygon

The formula that is used for calculating the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as;

P = a + b+ c

Such that a , b and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle

Then, we have that;

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a² =  81 + 121

a² = 202

a = √202 = 14.2 units

Perimeter = 9  + 11 + 14.2

Add the values

Perimeter = 34.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of snow = 4 inches

Fall rate of snow = 1.5 inch per hour

Equation to model the scenario goes thus :

Initial amount of snow + (fall rate of snow * number of hours)

Let the number of hours = h

4 inches + (1.5 inch per hour * h)

Equation, y(t) becomes ;

what is 10c + 20 = 40 C =

Answers

Answer: c = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write out your equation: 10c + 20 = 40

Next, since the equation is adding, you can subtract 20 the constant on both sides of the equation:

10c + 20 = 40

      - 20    - 20  

The 20s cancel each other out and 40 - 20 is 20.

Our new equation looks like: 10c = 20

Now to find the value of C you are going to divide 10 on both sides because the equation is multiplying.

10c divided by 10 is just c and 20 divided by 10 is 2.

Therefore, you are left with c = 2
