Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance travelled by both the cars equal to d.

Also assume speed of Car A as x and speed of Car B as y

Then using distance formula,

d = 2x

Similarly for car B, d = 1.5 y

Also given that

speed of car B = speed of car A +15

y =x+15

Hence we have 2 x = 1.5 y  Or x =0.75 y

Substitute in y =x+15 :  y =0.75y+15

0.25y = 15

y = 15/0.25 = 60 mph

Speed of car B = 60 mph

A geometry program can show you the total displacement is about 10.14 miles.

_____
You can use a vector calculator to find the solution, too. Using bearing angles, the sum is
   4∠90° + 3∠135° + 3∠180° + 4∠225° + 3∠90° ≈ 10.1390∠141.6354°

_____
If you want to do it by hand, you can recognize the sum will be
   7 miles east + 3 miles south + 3 miles southeast + 4 miles southwest

Distances that are not in the direction of one of the coordinate axes can be translated to rectangular coordinates by 
   displacement*(cos(angle), sin(angle))
Angles can be measured in the conventional way—from the positive x-axis. A direction of southeast will be +315° or -45°. A direction of southwest will be +225° or -135°.

Then the sum of the displacements in rectangular coordinates is ...
   = (7, -3) + 3*(cos(-45°), sin(-45°)) + 4*(cos(-135°), sin(-135°))
   = (7, -3) + ((√2)/2)*((3, -3) + (-4, -4))
   = (7, -3) + 0.707107*(-1, -7)
   = (6.2929, -7.9497)
Then the Pythagorean theorem is used to find the direct distance from home to this displaced location.
   d = √(6.2929² +(-7.9497)²) ≈ √102.7990
   d ≈ 10.1390 . . . . miles

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

√[4 - (-8)]² + (10 - 10)²

√(12)² + (0)²

√144 + 0

√144
