a bicycle path and a road cross at right angles. a police woman stands on the road 70 meters south of the crossing and watches an eastbound cyclist traveling at 6 meters per second. at how many meters per second is the cyclist moving away from the police woman 4 seconds after passing the intersection?

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the squares on the hypotenuse of a right triangle, or, in standard algebraic notation, a² + b² = c².

What is meant by Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the squares on the hypotenuse (the side across from the right angle) of a right triangle, or, in standard algebraic notation, a² + b² = c².

The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relationship between a right triangle's three sides in Euclidean geometry. According to this statement, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.

First use the Pythagorean theorem. a² + b² = c²

then take the first derivative of it to get

2a(a') + 2b(b') = 2c(c')

Now figure out how far the train is after 4 seconds

6(4)=24

70² + 24² = c²

c = 74

Now plug in the variables you know

2(70)0 + 2(24)6 = 2(74)c' and solve for c' or the rate of change of c.
