Answer:
55.96 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = Speed X time
Car first moved east for 1 hr , distance = 40 x 1 = 40 miles
Car then moved north-east for 30 min, distance = 40 x 0.5 = 20 miles
From trigonometry,
sin 45 = ; y = 20 sin 45 ; y= 14.14 miles
cos 45 = ; x = 20 cos 45 ; x = 14.14 miles
using Pythagoras theorem;
=
+
= +
= 3131.08
=
z = 55.96 miles
