The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.
After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.
Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²
(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²
250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500
1,690,000 H² = 422,500
H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25
H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
Replace all the variables with their values. In this case, we know the value of the variable p.
Now the expressions p + 5 becomes 2 + 5.
2 + 5 = 7
So, C. 7 is the answer.

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine its new position
Because the ring was initially below the surface of the pool;
Its initial position is
Taking it to the surface of the pool;
It means, the ring travels a distance of:
It's final position is the summation of its initial position and distance travelled;
<em>Hence, 0 represents its new position with respect to the surface of the water</em>
