Answer to Question #255022 in Optics for lee

Question

From one hospital, a small family rides their car and travels 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then 30 km toward the north to a second hospital in search of a vacancy to accommodate a severe-case CoViD-19 relative patient. What is the separation distance between the two hospitals?

Answer 1

$x=25\cdot\cos30°=21.65\ (m)$

$y=40-25\cdot\sin30°=27.5\ (m)$

$l=\sqrt{21.65^2+27.5^2}=35 (m)$ . Answer
