Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south.?

That is incorrect. The distance travelled north cancels out the distance travelled south. Therefore - he only travels three blocks east.


Find the velocity of a truck that travels 75 miles north in 2.5 hours?

Speed = Distance divided by Time. So, speed = 75 miles divided by 2.5 hours = 75 / 2.5 = 30 miles per hour. Velocity is speed and direction, so the velocity is 30 mph Northbound.


If two planes leave the same airport at 100 PM how many miles apart will they be at 300 PM if one travels directly north at 150 mph and the other travels directly west at 200 mph?

Plane A travels due north at 150 mph for 2 hours, it will go 300 miles. Plane B travels due west at 200 mph for 2 hours, it will go 400 miles. Draw the two vectors and you will see that they make two sides of a right triangle. The distance between the two planes at the end of two hours is just the hypotenuse of this triangle. You could use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2 = a^2 + b^2) to find the distance...or you could recognise that 300 and 400 are two of a pythagorean triplet (300, 400, 500) and the third number of this triplet is 500. So, the planes will be 500 miles aprt at the end of two hours

A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles its then travels due north for a distance of 20 miles at which point it drops anchor how many miles is the boat from it's starting point?

This is where you apply the pythagorean theorem: d = √(152 + 202) ∴d = √(225 + 400) ∴d = √(625) ∴d = 25 So the boat is 15 miles from it's starting point

A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles it travels due north for a distance of 20 miles at which point it drops anchor how many milesis the boat from it?

A trick question! The boat is still quite close to the point where it dropped the anchor! ============================ The boat is approximately 25 miles from its starting point, and exactly zero miles from the point where the anchor was dropped.
