Answer 1

Answer:

hey.... mate ur ans... is here

This problem just constructs a right triangle.

To solve, use the pythagorean theorem a squared + b squared = c squared.

2500 + 10000 = 12500

So he travels home 111.8 km.

divide 111.8 by 25 and he traveled for 4.47 hours. Convert this into minutes and he traveled the last leg in 4 hours and 28 minutes. So he arrived back at Mogadishu at 17:28.

hope i help u
