Ok, so the total distance will be 4 kilometers

remember, distance=speed times time

the polar bear's distance=9km/h times t  or  9t
t is time in hours

the floe's distance =3km/hr times t or 3t

total disatace=polar bear disatnce+floe's distance=9t+3t=12t

so when will this distance eqal 4km?
4=12t
divide both sides by 12
4/12=t
1/3=t
about 20 mins or 1/3 hour

Find AB using Pythagorean Theorem,

AB=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15.

A=\tan^{-1}(12/9)=53.1^{\circ}.

B=\tan^{-1}(9/12)=36.9^{\circ}.

Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

elves in 1000 years = elves now x (rate of increase)^time
