Pls Solve If U Can. Thanks by shankeke: 5:37am On Mar 28, 2018
1) two men started from the same point and walked in opposite directions. each man walked for 50 minutes and turned left, walked for another 20 minutes and stopped. how far apart are they, if each man walked at the same rate of 6km/hr?

Pls can u show the working.. thanks

Both are a total of 140 minutes apart. That's (50 ×2) + (20×2).

They have a common speed of 6km/h.

The problem is to find distance (in km) when Time is 140 mins ( or 2 hrs. 20 mins) and speed is 6km/h.

Distance = speed × time. Therefore, distance between them is 2 1/3 × 6, that's 7/3 × 6 = 14 km

you will have two congruent right angled triangles in opposite direction but touching each other at the point of intersection of their respective hypothenus and adjacent (longest line). Their distance apart is twice the length of the hypothenus of one triangle grin

I agree, I considered it as a possible solution. But then, the question doesn't ask for the shortest possible distance and that's why I ignored it
