Journey

Charles and Eve stand in front of their house. Charles walks south to school at 5.4 km/h, and Eve cycles east to the shop at 21.6 km/h. How far apart are they after 10 minutes?

Final Answer:

x =  3.7108 km

Step-by-step explanation:

t=10 min h=10:60  h=0.16667 h v1=5.4 km/h v2=21.6 km/h  v2 = v12+v22 v=v12+v22=5.42+21.6222.2648 km/h  x=t v=0.1667 22.2648=3.7108 km
