Akayaker travels x miles per hour downstream for 3 hours. on the 4-hour return trip, the kayaker travels 1 mile per hour slower. how far did the kayaker travel in total?

The answer is 24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that distance = rate * time

Length of the journey = from downstream

Length of the journey = from return trip

As the distance is same, we will equate both the journey lengths.

Solving for x;

x = 4

Thus the forward journey, = 12 miles.

Return journey will be of same length that is 12 miles.

The total distance traveled is miles.

Therefore, the answer is 24 miles.

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
