Question

The diagram shows two different positions of P and Q of a helicopter flyimg horizontally at a uniform speed of 72km/h .It is found that it takes the helicopter 10 min to fly from P and Q

Answer 1

Answer:

the distance between P and Q is 12 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we need to get the distance between P and Q.

We are given the speed of the helicopter and the time it takes to travel between the two points.

We first convert the time to hours since speed is given in km/h

1 hour = 60 minutes

so, we have: 10/60 = 1/6 hours

Now:

Distance = Time × Speed

Doing the substitution we have:

1/6 × 72 = 12 km

Therefore, the distance between P and Q is 12 km.
