Mr. Irvine and Mr. Babyak left in separate cars at the same time on the same road , to see the Nascar Race in Dover, Delaware. Mr. Irvine drove 77mi/h and Mr. Babyak drove 71 mi/h. In how many hours will they be 18 miles apart?

In 3 hours, they will be 18 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of Mr. Irvine = 77mi/h

Speed of Mr. Babyak = 71mi/h

Distance to be apart = 18 miles

Let,

t be the time.

We will subtract the speeds as both the cars are driving in the same direction.

Distance = Speed * Time

18 = (77-71)t

18 = 6t

6t = 18

Dividing both sides by 6

Hence,

In 3 hours, they will be 18 miles apart.

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
