Step-by-step explanation:

(a). SR = 15√2 km ≈ 21.2 km

R is 21.2 km due South-East of S

(b). RQ² = 35² + 15² ⇒ RQ = 5√14 km ≈ 38.1 km

R is 38.1 km due South-West of Q

Raj gets a 1.5 mile head start and runs at a rate of 4.5 miles per hour. Jacinda's progress is represented by a graph that goes

Alexxandr [17]

From the given ordered pair representing Jacinda's progress, her speed is equal to 10 miles per hour. Letting x be the time it takes for Jacinda to catch up with Raj, the total distance Raj would travel is
1.5 + 4.5x
and Jacinda's total distance is 10x. Mathematically,
1.5 + 4.5x = 10x
The value of x from the equation is 0.27 hours. Therefore, Jacinda needs to run 2.7 miles to catch up with Raj.
