Matt is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the east. Jaime is walking at 1.25 miles per hour to the south. Which statement describes the movement of Matt and Jaime?(1

Answer 1

Matt is moving in an easterly direction, while Jaime is moving in a southerly direction. Since their paths are perpendicular to each other, they are walking at the same speed but in different directions. Their movements can be described as forming the legs of a right triangle, where Matt's movement is along the horizontal leg (east) and Jaime's movement is along the vertical leg (south). The overall movement of both individuals results in them moving away from each other at an angle of 90 degrees.
