we know that
1) First way to find the value of a
in the triangle ABC
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
AC</span>²=AB²+BC²--------> BC²=AC²-AB²-----> BC²=25²-15²-----> BC²=625-225
BC²=400--------> BC=20 units
a=BC
a=20 units
2) Second way to find the value of a
in the triangle ABD
AB²=AD²+BD²--------> BD²=AB²-AD²-----> BD²=15²-9²---> BD²=144
BD=12 units
in the triangle BDC
a=BC
BC²=BD²+DC²-----> 12²+16²----> 144+256------> BC²=400
BC=20 units
a=20 units

Answer:
The rate at which both of them are moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate at which the woman is walking, = 3 ft/sec
Rate at which the man is walking, = 2 ft/sec
Collective rate of both, = 5 ft/sec
Woman starts walking after 5 mins so we have to consider total time traveled by man as (5+15) min = 20 min
Now,
Distance traveled by man and woman are and
ft respectively.
⇒
⇒
As we see in the diagram (attachment) that it forms a right angled triangle and we have to calculate .
Lets calculate h.
Applying Pythagoras formula.
⇒
⇒
Now differentiating the Pythagoras formula we can calculate the rate at which both of them are moving apart.
Differentiating with respect to time.

⇒
⇒ ...as
⇒ Plugging the values.
⇒ ...as
ft/sec
⇒ ft/sec
So the rate from which man and woman moving apart is 4.9761 ft/sec.
