Answer: They will hike exactly 16 miles each day for 4 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total distance to hike = 72 miles
They hike 16 miles per day.
Total days they will take to complete the distance =
It will take 4 complete days and a half day to complete the journey.
i.e. They will hike exactly 16 miles each day for 4 days.
-3x2+243=0
4.That first one sounds familiar; I think I did it yesterday.
The sides don't matter (except that they're equal) so the base angle b satisfies
b + b + 38 = 180
2b = 142
b = 71
Choice a
5.
42 + 42 + v = 180
v = 180 - 84 = 96
choice d
6. That's three acute angles, an acute triangle
7. We need to satisfy the triangle inequality which means the sum of the two smaller sides needs to be bigger than the largest
10+15>24 so choice b
8.
SRT = RTS = 180 - STU
3x - 50 = 180 - 7x
10 x = 230
x = 23
choice a
Answer: This is a problem of solving a system of linear equations. Let x be the speed of Jim in still waters, and y be the speed of the stream. Then we have:
{x+y=15/tx−y=9/t
where t is the time it takes Jim to go upstream or downstream. We can solve this system by adding the two equations and eliminating y:
2x=24/tx=12/t
Then we can substitute x into one of the equations and solve for y:
y=15/t−12/ty=3/t
Since we know that the speed of the stream is 2 mph, we can equate y to 2 and solve for t:
3/t=2t=3/2
Finally, we can plug in t into the expression for x and find the speed of Jim in still waters:
x=12/tx=12/(3/2)x=8
Therefore, Jim can go 8 mph in still waters.
Answer:
Time taken to go downstream = 4 / ( 2 + S) where S is the speed of the river
TIme taken to go upstream = 1 / ( 2 - S )
Since the time taken is the same in each case we can equate both of them
1 / ( 2 - S) = 4 / ( 2 + S )
2 + S = 8 - 4S
5 S = 6
S = 6 / 5
= 1.2 mph
