I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST A turtle lives in a garden and a hedgehog lives in the woods. They leave their homes at the same time walk toward each other and meet in 5 hours. The turtle walks 10 meters per hour slower than the hedgehog. If the turtle had left home 4 1/2 hours earlier than the hedgehog had left his home, the two would meet 150m from the woods. Find the distance between the garden and the woods.

The answer is 450

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this equation:

x- the speed in which the turtle walks

5x+5(x+10)=4.5x+150+x*(150)/(x+10)

I got x=40, x=-50/11, but you can't have negative speed, so the turtle's speed is 40 meters per hour. After that, I just plugged in x onto one of the expressions and got 450.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
