Laura and brent paddle a canoe 6 miles upstream in four hours. the return trip took three hours. find the rate of the current and the canoe in still water

the answer is the third / last answer

step-by-step explanation:

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.

3 3 6, because in every triangle the longer side is always shorter than the sum of the other two
