Answer:
6.9 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the test and got it right,
They are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour option (B) 6.9 miles is correct.
In terms of geometry, the triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. The triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
We have:
Miranda and Cyndi start hiking from the same point. Miranda hikes at a heading of 270° or due west, and Cyndi hikes at a heading of 30°
From the isosceles triangle:
h = 4sin30
h = 4(1/2)
h = 2 miles
From Pythagoras theorem:
x² = 4² - h² = 4² - 2²
x = √12
x = 3.46 miles
Total distance = 2×3.46 = 6.9 miles
Thus, they are both 6.9 miles apart after one hour if they both hike 4 miles/hour option (B) 6.9 miles is correct.
