Two spectators at a soccer game in montjuic stadium see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. the time delay for spectator a is 0.231 s and for spectator b is 0.128 s. sight lines from the two spectators to the player kicking the ball meet at an angle of 90°. how far are (a) spectator a and (b) spectator b from the player? (c) how far are the spectators from each other? (take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m

i don't understand is there any other way you can rephrase it plz let me know in the comments and i will do it.
