Answer:
15.8 ft/s
Explanation:
= Velocity of car A = 9 ft/s
a = Distance car A travels = 21 ft
= Velocity of car B = 13 ft/s
b = Distance car B travels = ft
c = Distance between A and B after 4 seconds = √(a²+b²) = √(21²+28²) = √1225 ft
From Pythagoras theorem
a²+b² = c²
Now, differentiating with respect to time
∴ Rate at which distance between the cars is increasing three hours later is 15.8 ft/s
