Answer:
They will be 140 miles apart 8 hours after the first boy started the trip or 6 hours after the second boy started the trip.
Explanation:
x = the time that the first boy travels at 14 mph
x - 2 = the time the second boy travels at 14 mph
140 the distance between them
Since one travels north and the other east (their roads are perpendicular) the distance between them can be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem
(14*x)^2 + ((x-2)*14)^2 = 140^2
the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x1 = - 6 is not the solution since x > 0
x2 = 8 h is the solution
C. is the answer to this question
To solve these problems first draw the free body diagram:
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
I think it’s C but I’m not sure:/
