Question

Jaime drove from all groceries food store to get rich savings bank and then to AAA hardware. How far did Jaime drive?

Answer 1

Jaime drove for 6.127 miles.

Explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The length from All Groceries Food store to Get Rich Savings bank along Flower street is x miles (say) and the length from Get Rich Savings bank to AAA hardware along the Broad street is 4 miles.

Since, the Flower street and Broad street are perpendicular to each other, hence,

`\tan 28 = (x)/(4)`

⇒ x = 4 tan 28 = 2.127 miles.

Therefore, Jaime drove for (4 + 2.127) = 6.127 miles ≈ 6.1 miles. (Answer)
