. Two bicyclists, Sarah and Emily, depart from the same location. Sarah heads N55°E at an average speed of 6 km/hr. Emily heads
Liula [17]

Answer:

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Sarah's speed = 6 km/hr = 1.6667 m/s

Emily's speed = 10 km/hr = 2.7778 m/s

The measure of angle between their bearings = 105^{o}

After 30 minutes (1800 seconds);

distance = speed x time

Sarah would have covered a distance = 1.6667 x 1800

                               = 3000 m

                               = 3 km

Emily would have covered a distance = 2.7778 x 1800

                               = 5000 m

                               = 5 km

The distance between them, a, can be determined by applying the cosine rule;

a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2bcCos A

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) Cos 105

   = 5000^{2} + 3000^{2} -2(5000 x 3000) x (-0.2588)

   = 2.5 x 10^{7} + 9 x 10^{6} + 7764000

   = 41764000

a = \sqrt{41764000}

  = 6462.5073

a = 6462.5 m

The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.

A boat starts from a port and moves 12 miles north and then moves 5 miles east. what is the present distance of the boat from th
disa [49]
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
