two cyclist start from the same location.
\n" ); document.write( " one travels due north the other due east, at the same speed.
\n" ); document.write( "find the speed o each in km/h if after two hours they are:
\n" ); document.write( " [(1111)^(1/3)]/(17)^(1/2)km. in other words. cube root of 1111 divided by the square root of 17 km
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a = the distance they each traveled
\n" ); document.write( "Using pythag a^2 + a^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2 = \"%283sqrt%281111%29%2Fsqrt%2817%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of this nasty expression with your calc
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2 = 6.31
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = 3.155
\n" ); document.write( "find the square root
\n" ); document.write( "a = 1.776 km in 2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "find the speed in km/h
\n" ); document.write( "1.776/2 = .9 km/hr, awful slow, not much makes sense here
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
