A herd of elephants on the savannah is moving in a straight line at 4 kilometers per hour, headed directly toward a biologist who has been tracking them. Meanwhile, the biologist is also driving toward
them at 69 kilometers per hour. If they started out 14 kilometers apart, how long will it be before they
encounter one another?

step-by-step explanation:

duck you

i those same problems in math and dont know how to do them

the correct answer would be the third option

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
