A drone is flying at kilometers per hour at a constant altitude of km above a straight road. The drone pilot uses radar to determine that an oncoming motorcycle is at a distance of exactly kilometers from the drone, and that this distance is decreasing at kph. Find the speed of the motorcycle. Note: Round to the nearest hundredth. Hint: At the end, remember to consider that the drone is moving towards the motorcycle at kph. Speed cannot be negative. Note: Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer : 166.41 kph

Explanation:

Given data :

Drone speed = 180 kph

Altitude of drone = 1 km

distance of motorcycle from drone = 2 km

distance of motorcycle decreases at 200 kph

calculate the speed in kph of the motorcycle

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem

A drone is flying at kilometers per hour at a constant altitude of km above a straight-example-1
A drone is flying at kilometers per hour at a constant altitude of km above a straight-example-2
A drone is flying at kilometers per hour at a constant altitude of km above a straight-example-3
