Sum of AB and CD = (40 3 + 40)
Question 10a
Since AG = HC,
p
AB = CD = (20 3 + 20) metres 6m

6 r
For travel time, we first need to work out the
distance from A to C. We know that GH is 20
metres long, so we just need to find the point
at A or C.

p
Since AB = CD = (20 3 + 20) and
p
EF = (20 3 + 40), 9m
the height of B above ground: r
p p
