Answer 1

They are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour

The correct option is (B)

What is the triangle?

In terms of geometry, the triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. The triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

According to the given information:

Miranda and Cyndi start hiking from the same point. Miranda hikes at a heading of 270° or due west, and Cyndi hikes at a heading of 30°

From the isosceles triangle:

h = 4sin30

h = 4(1/2)

h = 2 miles

From Pythagoras theorem:

x² = 4² - h² = 4² - 2²

x = √12

x = 3.46 miles

Total distance = 2×3.46  = 6.9 miles

Thus, they are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour option (B) 6.9 miles is correct.
