An enclosure for some remote control boats 2017-10-03
Roberto pose la question :
I am trying to build a "ring" for our remote control boats, using irrigation pipe. I'd like to use full 20' long sticks for the long sides and use eight of what we call 45s, which are actually 135' fittings to make the six short sides. If I know the length of the two long sides, what would be the formula to find the exact lengths of the short sides?

Thank you.

Velocity 2007-04-04
Jessica pose la question :
The speed of the current in a river is 2mph. Jessica travels 20 miles upstream and then 20 miles downstream in a total time of 5 1/3 hr. Find the speed of the boat. I know you have to use V= d/t, but what is the equation for time because you have to factor in that upstream the boat is slower and downstream the boat is faster?

Boat trigonometry 2007-04-04
Kimi pose la question :
Hi, I have been working on the attached math problem for my college trig class for over a week. Every avenue I've tried seems to lead either to a dead end, an unreasonable answer, or extremely complicated computations. I was able to calculate the speed of the boat to 3.51 mph, but cannot figure out the measure of angle beta. Once I can figure that out, I can do the rest of the problem. Thanks, Kimi
