How far is the car from Joe's Gas Station?

Respuesta :

Answer:2.05 mi

Explanation:

Given

Joe travel 2.4 mi due to north

[tex]r_1=2.4\hat{j}[/tex]

then turns right and travel 1 mi

[tex]r_{21}=1\hat{i}[/tex]

then it again turn right on Washington avenue

[tex]r_{32}=-0.6\hat{j}[/tex]

Final Position of Joe is

[tex]r_3=\hat{i}+1.8\hat{j}[/tex]

its distance from gas station is

[tex]|r_{3}|=\sqrt{1^2+1.8^2}[/tex]

=2.059 mi[/tex]
