Answer:

The speed of the submarine is 15.429 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that both ships travel at constant velocities. As we know that both travel in opposite directions, it is supposed that cruise ship moves in +x direction, whereas submarine in -x direction. Kinematic equations for each sheep are described below:

Ship

x_{Sh} = x_{o} + v_{Sh}\cdot t

Submarine

x_{Su} = x_{o}+v_{Su}\cdot t

Where:

x_{o} - Position of Diego Garcia island, measured in miles.

x_{Sh}, x_{Su} - Current positions of ship and submarine, measured in miles.

v_{Sh}, v_{Su} - Velocities of ship and submarine, measured in miles per hour.

t - TIme, measured in hours.

If we know that x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = 241\,mi, v_{Sh} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} and t = 7\,h, then:

x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = (v_{Sh}-v_{Su})\cdot t

We clear now the velocity of submarine:

\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t} = v_{Sh}-v_{Su}

v_{Su} = v_{Sh}-\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t}

v_{Su} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} -\frac{241\,mi}{7\,h}

v_{Su} = -15.429\,\frac{mi}{h}

Speed of the submarine is the magnitude of its velocity, which is 15.429 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find the surface area...so

15x12=180

180x4=720

12x12=144

144x2=288
