Answer:

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, I add a picture of the situation.

We know that speed is distance over time  ⇒

Speed=\frac{distance}{time} (I)

The first step to solve this exercise is to graph the situation. We can draw a right triangle which vertices will be ''Tulsa'', and the planes ''A'' and ''B'' at 5:00 p.m.

In order to know the measures of the sides, we are going to calculate them using the equation (I)

Plane A leaves Tulsa at 2:00 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 3 hours ⇒

300\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{3h} ⇒

distance=(300\frac{mi}{h}).(3h)

distance=900mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane A to Tulsa is 900 mi

Plane B leaves Tulsa at 2:30 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 2.5 hours ⇒

225\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{2.5h}

distance=(225\frac{mi}{h}).(2.5h)

distance=562.5mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane B to Tulsa is 562.5 mi

Finally, we can find the distance between the plane A and the plane B using the Pythagorean theorem :

(900mi)^{2}+(562.5mi)^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

810000mi^{2}+316406.25mi^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

(Distance_{A-B})^{2}=1126406.25mi^{2}

Distance_{A-B}=\sqrt{1126406.25mi^{2}}

Distance_{A-B}=1061.322877mi ≅ 1061.323mi

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

Question Is In The Picture
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2

this theorem only works on triangles with an angle of 90 degrees or a right triangle.

18^2 + 24^2 = 900

the square root of 900 is 30

I did the square root of 900 because the square root is the 'opposite' of squaring which is what you need to do in order to find 'c' is the Pythagorean theorem. 'a' is 18, and 'b' is 24
