Answer:The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point.

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving 3 miles north and 4 miles east and then the straight line distance will form a right angled triangle.

Where;

One leg =  a = 3 miles

Other leg = b = 4 miles

Hypotenuse = c

Using Pythagoras theorem;

Taking square root on both sides

The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

17.71 years

Explanation:

  • As the crust of the San Andrea is continuously moving due to the tectonic activity and is the main manifest of the tectonic boundary of the North America and the pacific plate. This fault along with the pacific plate will move towards the Los angles and eastern San Francisco as it moves about 3.5 cm per year.
  • As  1 km equals to about 100 000 cm , then the distance of 620 km =  62, 000,000 cm  and 62,000,000 will be divided by 3.5 equal to  17. 71 years to collide with the eastern side.
