Question 758789
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Use *[tex \LARGE d\ =\ rt] to calculate the distance traveled on I91.  Then use *[tex \LARGE d\ =\ rt] to calculate the distance traveled on I84.  Assume these are straight lines and that the angle formed by the intersection of I91 and I84 is exactly a right angle.  It isn't really, but you cannot solve the problem otherwise.  Then calculate the measure of the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed using the two calculated distances as legs.


By the way, tell your instructor/teacher/professor that if they are going to make up problems, they should check to make sure they make sense.  You cannot travel west on I84 for 4 hours at 70mph starting at the junction of I91 and I84.  There isn't enough of I84 after you leave downtown Hartford.  Presuming you were able to average 70mph, you would reach the end of I84 just outside of Scranton in less than 3 hours.
