Movement

Two cyclists set off from an intersection of two perpendicular roads, each taking a different road. One travels at an average speed of 16 km/h and the other at 25 km/h. Determine the distance between them after 20 minutes of cycling.

Final Answer:

x =  9.8939 km

Step-by-step explanation:

t=20 min h=20:60  h=0.33333 h v1=16 km/h v2=25 km/h  s1=v1 t=16 0.3333=3165.3333 km s2=v2 t=25 0.3333=3258.3333 km  x2 = s12 + s22  x=s12+s22=5.33332+8.33332=9.8939 km
