I struggle for a long while with solving this problem, but can't
seem to find a solution. I'm not really a mathematical genius.
On asks to calculate the quickest route from A to B (by foot).
There are 2 ways to get there: 1. From A to X at 5 km/h and then
from X to B at 2 km/h -> this route takes 16 minutes 59 seconds
2. From A to Y at 5 km/h and then from Y to B at 2 km/h -> this
route takes 19 minutes 25 seconds The aim is to find out what
the distance is From A -> X and X -> B From A -> Y and Y -> B
There are a few catches . - The angle between A-> X and A-> Y is
95°, but I do not know whether this is important. - The angles
between A-> X and X-> B and also A-> Y and Y-> B are not
necessarily 90 ° Thus Pythagoras is in my eyes not suitable for
solving this problem. How should I deal with this problem?
Preferably as understandable as possible please.
