The speed of the current in a creek is 5 mph. A person can kayak 8 mi upstream in the same time that it takes him to kayak 18 mi downstream. What is the speed of the person's kayak in still water?

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
