In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem<span>, also known as </span>Pythagoras's theorem<span>, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. </span>
We know that: time=distance/speed if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min 18/x=23+18/(x+1/120) solving for x we get: x=0.08 m/min speed of hare is: (0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
