Jack and Jill both start at point A. They each walk in a straight line at an angle of 105° to each other. After 45 minutes Jack has walked 4.5km and Jill has walked 6km. How far apart are they? Round to the nearest hundredth.

The distance between them is 8.38 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose both of them start at the point (0km, 0km), and that Jack walks along the positive x-axis, then Jill walks at an angle of 105° measured from the positive x-axis.

After 45 minutes, jack has walked 4.5km, then if his initial position was (0 km, 0 km)

Then his new position will be (4.5km, 0km)

Jill has walked 6km, but we need to write this in rectangular components.

We can think in this as a triangle rectangle, then the components will be:

x-component = 6 km*cos(105°) = -1.55 km

y-component = 6km*sin(105°) = 5.80 km

Then the new position of Jill is ( -1.55km, 5.80km)

Now, we know that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is:

Distance = √( (a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

Then the distance between Jill and Jack will be equal to the distance between ( -1.55km, 5.80km) and (4.5km, 0km)

This is:

Distance = √( (-1.55km - 4.5km)^2 + (5.80km - 0km)^2)

Distance = 8.38 km

This means that they are 8.38km apart.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
