Use the pythagorean theorem to answer this question. becca paddles a boat from the south bank of a stream to the north bank. she paddles at a rate of 8 mph. the stream is flowing west at a rate of 6 mph. what is becca's actual velocity?

Since a stream of water is perpendicular to the movement of Becca, her boat must have been moving going at an angle of north east. Using the Pythagorean formula, we can calculate for the resultant velocity, c.

c^2 = (8 mph)^2 + (6 mph)^2

c^2 = 64 + 36

c^2 = 100

c = 10 mph

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
