The figure below gives the path of a squirrel moving about on level ground, from point A (at time t = 0), to points B (at t = 3.00 min), C (at t = 6.00 min), and finally D (at t = 9.00 min). Both axes are marked in increments of 2.00 m (therefore the diagram is not drawn to scale). Consider the average velocities of the squirrel from point A to each of the other three points.
I was able to calculate the magnitude and angle of the avg velocity of the least magnitude, but how would I go about finding the magnitude of the avg velocity of the greatest magnitude?
I tried delta x divided by t, then divided by 60 to get m/s, but it did not come out correctly. where did I go wrong/

compute the avg velocity from A to B, B to C, and C to D. One of those has to be maximum.
