Two cars, 330 kilometers apart begin driving toward each other on a long, straight highway. one car drives 80 kilometers per hour and the other 85 miles per hour. at the same time, a canary, starting on one car, flies back and forth between the cars as they approach each other. if the canary flies 90 kilometers per hour and spends no time to turn around at each car, how far has it flown when the cars collide?

answer: a. 74

step-by-step explanation:

it shows divided evenly, so add the 37+37 = 74

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
