Answer:

The distance between them is changing at the speed of 10.16 m/hr

Explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below.

The question is simply asking to calculate the resultant of the two velocities.

To get the angle between them, we simply use the coordinates of the two vectors to determine the angle between them.  

90 + 45 = 135°

from the cosine rule we have

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosθ

c^{2} = 6^{2} +5^{2} - 2 ×6×5×cos 135

c^{2} = 103.426

c = \sqrt{103.426}

c = 10.17 m/hr

A client has chronic granulomatous disease. which goal is priority for this client?
tigry1 [53]
A priority goal for the client with CGD is to manage the s/s of the disease process so as to maintain the client's functional ability. Chest pain is not a typical sign. The carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is increased to an abnormal level; it would not be a goal to increase the level further. Preventing infection would be a goal of care for the client.
