Question

Two cars are headed for the intersection of the two roads. If Car A is travelling south at 45 km/h and car B is travelling east at 60 km/h, at what rate is the distance between the cars decreasing when car A is 9 km and car B is 11 km from the intersection? Note: Write only the numerical value of the rate, the units are already written. Write the exact answer not the decimal approximation (for example write 45 not 0.8).

          Two cars are headed for the intersection of the two roads. If
Car A is travelling south at 45 km/h and car B is travelling east
at 60 km/h, at what rate is the distance between the cars
decreasing when car A is 9 km and car B is 11 km from the
intersection? Note: Write only the numerical value of the rate, the
units are already written. Write the exact answer not the decimal
approximation (for example write 45 not 0.8).

Step 1

\(c^2 = a^2 + b^2\) \(c^2 = 9^2 + 11^2\) \(c^2 = 81 + 121\) \(c^2 = 202\) \(c = \sqrt{202}\) \(c = 14.21\) km Show more…
