"In still water, Derek can paddle his canoe at 6.5 km/h. On a river, the canoe travels faster downstream than upstream because of the current. In the morning Derek travels upstream and takes 5 hours and then in the afternoon Derek travels downstream the same distance and takes 2 hours. What is the speed of the current? Answer to the nearest tenth."

P L E A S E H E L P

Answers

Let the speed of current be x km/ hr 
Upsetram  = ( 6.5 -x) km/ hr
Downstram = ( 6.5 + x) km/ hr 
Distance = Speed x Time 

5 ( 6.5-x) = 2 ( 6.5+x)

A rectangle has perimeter 68 meters, and its area is 280 sq-meters. find the dimensions of this rectangle. (for purposes of this problem only, the width is shorter than the length.)

Answers

let one side be x and the other be y

Perimeter is 68 meters
2(x + y) = 68
x + y = 34
x = 34 - y ------------------ (1)

Area = 280
xy = 280 ------------------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2):

(34 - y)y = 280
34y - y² = 280
y² - 34y + 280 = 0
(x - 14)(x - 20) = 0
x = 14 or x = 20

The dimension  of this rectangle is 14 meters by 20 meters


Final answer:

The rectangle's length to be 20 meters and the width to be 14 meters.

Explanation:

We are given that a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 meters and an area of 280 square meters, and we need to find its dimensions. Let's call the length of the rectangle L and the width W.

The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2L + 2W. We know the perimeter is 68 meters, so we can write the equation:

1. 68 = 2L + 2W

The area (A) of a rectangle is given by the formula A = L × W. We know the area is 280 square meters, so we can write the equation:

2. 280 = L × W

To find L and W, we solve these two equations simultaneously.

Divide the perimeter equation by 2 to simplify:

34 = L + W

We can then express W in terms of L using this equation:

W = 34 - L

Substitute this into the area equation:

280 = L × (34 - L)

This gives us a quadratic equation:

L2 - 34L + 280 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we find that L = 20 and W = 14 or L = 14 and W = 20. Since the width is shorter than the length, the dimensions of the rectangle are length 20 meters and width 14 meters.

Given is a Right triangle PQR with angle Q = 90 degrees.

Given are sides PQ = 8 cm, QR = 15 cm, PR = 17 cm.

Side PR is the hypotenuse.

We can use formula for "sin" given as follows :-

[tex] sin(\theta)=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} [/tex]

For angle R, opposite side would be PQ.

[tex] sin(R)=\frac{PQ}{PR} \\\\
sin(R)=\frac{8}{17} \\\\
sin(R)=0.470588235 \\\\
R=sin^{-1}(0.470588235) \\\\
R = 28.07248694 \;\;degrees \approx 28.07 \;degrees [/tex]

For angle P, opposite side would be QR.

[tex] sin(P)=\frac{QR}{PR} \\\\
sin(P)=\frac{15}{17} \\\\
sin(P)=0.882352941 \\\\
P=sin^{-1}(0.882352941) \\\\
P = 61.92751306 \;\;degrees \approx 61.93 \;degrees [/tex]

Hence, R = 28.07 degrees and P = 61.93 degrees.

To solve the problem we must know about Trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric functions

[tex]\rm {Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {tan\theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.

The value of the ∠R is 28.0724°.The value of the ∠P is 61.9275°.

Given to usPR = 17 cmQR = 15 cmPQ = 8 cm

1. For ∠R

For ∠R, the opposite side will be PR, therefore, PR will be the Perpendicular,

Substituting the values in the formula of Sine,

[tex]\rm {Sin (\angle R)=\dfrac{PQ}{PR}\\\\ [/tex]

[tex]\rm {Sin (\angle R)=\dfrac{8}{17}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\rm {(\angle R)=Sin^{-1} \dfrac{8}{17}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\rm {(\angle R)=28.0724^o [/tex]

Hence, the value of the ∠R is 28.0724°.

2. For ∠P

For ∠P, the opposite side will be QR, therefore, QR will be the Perpendicular,

Substituting the values in the formula of Sine,

[tex]\rm {Sin (\angle P)=\dfrac{QR}{PR}\\\\ [/tex]

[tex]\rm {Sin (\angle P)=\dfrac{15}{17}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\rm {(\angle P)=Sin^{-1} \dfrac{15}{17}\\ [/tex]

Answers

The force of gravity pulling on the bob is given by F = mgsinθ
Where m is the mass of the pendulum, g is the gravity, while θ is the angle between the pendulum and the vertical.
Therefore, m = 0.01 kg, g = 9.8 m/s² and θ = 22.5

A building lot in a city is shaped as a 30°-60°-90° triangle, like the figure shown.

The side opposite the 30° angle measures 41 feet.

A) find the length of the side of the lot opposite the 60° angle.(show how I know).

B) find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangular lot.(show how I know)

Answers

check the picture below.
A) You can find the length of the side of the lot opposite the 60° angle  (which we will call "x") as below:

 Tan(α)=Opposite/Adjacent

 α=60°
 Opposite=41 feet
 Adjacent=x

 When you substitute these values into Tan(α)=Opposite/Adjacent, you obtain:

 Tan(60°)=x/41
 (41)Tan(60°)=x
 x=41√3
 x=71.01 feet

 B) Now, you can find the length of the hypotenuse:

 Cos(α)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

 α=60°
 Adjacent=41 feet
 Hypotenuse=y

 When you substitute these values into Cos(α)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, you obtain:

 Cos(60°)=41/y
 yCos(60°)=41
 y=41/Cos(60°)
 y=82 feet

Part 2 options
(-52,141)
(-20,57)
(32,-71)
(54,-128)

Answers

1. (18/5,0)
First let us find the equation of AB. It should be in the form of y=mx + b
From the given coordinates, you can get m, x, and b.

m= y2-y1 divided by x2 - x1
m=(6-2)/(7- -3)= 4/10 or 2/5
m= 2/5

b is your y intercept
To get it, use 1 coordinate either from point A or B.
Let point A be the coordinates
y=mx + b
-3= 2/5(2) + b
b= - 3- 4/5
b= 16/5


Now we will find the equation of CD,
y=mx + b
y= (-5/2)x + b
Then get the coordinates of point C through midpoint equation,
(x1+x2) /2, (y1+y2) /2
(-3+7)/2, (2+6)/2
=C(2,4)
We will use this coordinates to find b,
y=mx+b
4=(-5/2)2+b
4+5=b
b=9
If we are finding the x intercept, y value should be 0.
0=(-5/2)x+9
0-9(2)/-5=x
x= 18/5
The x intercept of CD is (18/5,0)

The perimeter is the sum of all sides. Start by listing out what the sides are given to be. Assign a variable to anything unknown.

1st side = x
2nd side = y
3rd side = z

Given: 1st side is 5 less than 2nd side.
x = y - 5

Given: 3rd side is 2 less that 1st side. But we want everything in only one variable to solve. So use the first given 1st side = y - 5
z = y - 5 - 2
z = y - 7


Sum of sides
(y - 5) + y + ( y - 7) = 42

3y - 12 = 42
3y = 42 + 12
3y = 54
y = 54/3
y = 18

Remember the sides, We have 
1st, x = y - 5
= 18 - 5
= 13

2nd, y = y
= 18

3rd, z = y - 7
= 18 - 7

Solve for this equation for x round your number to the nearest hundredth 0.98=log x

Answers

Final answer:

To solve 0.98 = log x, you determine the number x for which 10 raised to the power of 0.98 equals x. Using a calculator, you find that x is approximately 95.50.

Explanation:

To solve the equation 0.98 = log x, we need to find the value of x such that when you take the common logarithm (base 10) of x, you get 0.98. A common logarithm is a logarithm with base 10, and the equation informs us that x is 10 raised to the power of 0.98 since y = log10(x) can be rewritten as x = 10y.

To find x, we can use the inverse operation of logarithm, which is exponentiation. We can express this process as follows:

x = 100.98

Using a calculator with exponentiation functionality, we enter the value of 0.98 and use the 10x function (sometimes labeled as INV or SHIFT followed by the LOG key).

The result is that x is approximately 95.50 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.

A rectangular piece of plastic has an area of 10 square millimeters and a perimeter of 22 millimeters. What are the dimensions of the piece of plastic? millimeters by millimeters

Answers

Final answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular piece of plastic are either 2mm by 5mm or 5mm by 2mm, based on the given area and perimeter.

Explanation:

We'll use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: 2(length + width) = perimeter and the formula for area: length x width = area. Given we have area of 10mm2 and perimeter of 22mm, we can set up two equations. Let's denote the length as 'L' and the width as 'W'.

Formula of perimeter of a rectangle: 2(L + W) = 22

Formula of area of a rectangle: L * W = 10.

We solve these two equations simultaneously. We get two possible solutions: Dimensions could be either {2mm, 5mm} or {5mm, 2mm}. Either the length is 5mm and the width is 2mm, or the length is 2mm and the width is 5mm.
