2ab x cos(C) = 7 since
a^2 + b^2 - 2ab x cos(C) = c^2
2ab x cos(C) = a^2 + b^2 - c^2
2ab x cos(C) = 2^2 + 2^2 - 1^2
2ab x cos(C) = 7
The average speed for his entire journey from York to Blackpool is about 61.41 km/h.
Here’s a breakdown of how we arrive at this:

The distance he travelled from York to Leeds is 45 km,
and the speed during that section was 54 km/h.
Therefore, the time taken to travel from York to Leeds is 45/54 hours (since Time = Distance/Speed).
Next, the distance from Leeds to Blackpool is 42 km,
and the time for that leg of the journey is 35 minutes, which is 35/60 hours.
This leads to the total duration for his trip as
hours.
The cumulative distance covered equals 45 + 42 = 87 km.
Thus, his average speed is calculated as:
Response:
B: 32 cm
To clarify, one should only sum the external measurements
6+6+4+4+3+3+3+3=32 cm
