Answer:
34.328125
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagorean, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16 +x^2 = 36.69
Then subtract the 16 from 36.69, which is 23.69
And finally take the square root of that, giving you 4.87
The average speed is given by:
average speed=(total distance)/(total time)
total time for the first 30 miles was:
time=distance/speed
=30/30
=1 hr
total time for the remaining 30 miles
=30/60
=0.5
hence the average speed will be:
speed=(30+30)/(1+0.5)=60/1.5=40 miles per hour
