18. The current in the Red Cedar River is 6 mph. A canoe can travel 7 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 3 miles upstream when paddled at the same rate. Set up (but do not solve) a rational equation that could be used to find the rate the canoe is paddled, using x as this rate

7/(6 + x) = 3/(6 - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The current of the Red Cedar River (the speed with which the river is flowing), v = 6 mph

The time it takes the canoe to travel 7 miles downstream = The time it takes the canoe to paddle 3 miles upstream

Let x represent the rate of the canoe, we have;

7/(v + x) = 3/(v - x)

Substituting v = 6 mph, we get the following rational equation, from which the rate of the canoe, x, can be found;

7/(6 + x) = 3/(6 - x).

step-by-step explanation:

2/5+1/2=9/10

6/1-9/10=5 1/10

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)
