Answer 5

okay no problem

Answer 6

i dont see a question, just relative information

Answer 7

yea i wrote what we need to find in the comments part

Answer 8

need to find the swimmers speed relative to the water if he swam directly from a to b

Answer 9

suppose to find the swimmers speed relative to the water if he went from a to b

so we are to assume the path taken across the river was from A to B,

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

what is the distance from A to B

Answer 12

250 right?

Answer 13

maybe, sqrt(200^2+150^2) = 250 yes, what is the angle at A?

Answer 14

like 36.9?

Answer 15

im getting an idea ...

spose we are just floating dead in the water, how long does it take to travel the distance of d2?

Answer 16

30

Answer 17

oops thts wrong gotta convert units

Answer 18

1.8 seconds?

Answer 19

.03 hours times 5 km/hr = .15 km

Answer 20

.03 hours is 1.8 seconds

Answer 21

1.8 minutes ... yes

now if we were swimming straight across, from A to C, in order to hit B in .03 hours, how fast would we need to be swimming? just to give us a sense of how to work the problem

Answer 22

yeaminutes my bad lol

Answer 23

how would u find that out?

Answer 24

well, we need to cover 200 meters in .03 hours .... how do we calculate a rate?

Answer 25

6m/hr?

Answer 26

.2 km in .03 hours .... rate is measured in km per hour right? rate = km/hr

Answer 27

yea ok
