at 6:00 am,two ships leave a port.One ship is sailing south at a rate of 18 khp and the rate of 18 kph and the other west at a rate of 23kph.Express the distanc

Question

 find the perimeter and the area and distance 

Answer 1

it forms a right triangle almost a 3-4-5 ratio

distance between the ships is = 29.9t km where t = hours travelling

distance squared = (18t)^2 + (23t)^2 = 853t^2

d = 29.9t km

perimeter of the triangle = 18t + 23t + 29.9t = 70.9t km

area of the triangle = (1/2)18(23) = 9(23) =207t^2 square km
