A dog and a cat start running from the same corner around the rectangular garden. Dog runs west and the cat runs north. Cat's speed is 1 meter per second faster than the dog's speed. After 2 seconds the distance between them is 10 meters. Find their speed in meters per second. Will mark brainliest!

the answer is the length is 5 / 6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Cat runs 4 meters per second

Dog runs 3 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture, you should have a right triangle with hypotenuse of 10 m

The cat runs with a rate of x+1 m/s

The dog runs with a rate of x m/s

Formulas needed: d=rt and pythagorean theorem

distance cat ran = (x+1)(2s)

distance dog ran = (x)(2s)

(distance cat ran)^2 + (distance dog ran)^2 = 10^2

(2x+2)^2+(2x)^2=100

solve for x

x = -4 or 3 (exclude the negative answer cause its extraneous)

x=3, plug in to rate equations above and cat runs 4 meters per second

while the dog runs 3 meters per second

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

it would take 7/10 of an hour too fill the pool.
