Answer:
Sue takes 3.3 hours to kayak 11 miles & marty takes 3.5 hours on her horse
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue's kayaking path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
so we use a squared + b squared = c squared
10.5^2+3.2^2=c^2
110.25+10.24=c^2
120.49=c^2
10.9768=c
and then because it said to round to the nearest tenth that would be 11.0 miles.
She's going at an average speed of 3.3 mph
that means it takes her about .3 hours to do 1 mile
so it would take her 3.3 hours to go 11 miles
marty is going at an average speed of 7 mph
so she takes 0.14 hours to go 1 mile
0.14 x 25 = 2.5
