Question 372249: The coordinates are (15,80) for the helicopter and (55,38) for the boat. A Coast Guard Helicopter receives a distress signal from a boat. The units on the map represent miles. To the nearest minute, how long will it take the helicopter to reach the boat if the helicopter travels at an average speed of 75 mph? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
where and are the coordinates of the given points.
Then time equals distance divided by rate. Divide the results of your distance calculation by 75. Multiply that result by 60 and round to the nearest whole number.
