The average speed of a greyhound bus from lansing to detroit is 104.5 km/h. on the return trip from detroit to lansing the avera
1 answer:
The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:

Answer: 31.6ft
Explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram.
According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|
that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft
According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2
10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2
100 + 900 = |AC|^2
|AC| = √1000
|AC| = 31.6ft
Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
