An LSU football defender is 6 m behind a Georgia Tech receiver who has the football and is d meters from making a touchdown. If the LSU player is running at 5 m/s and the receiver is running at 4 m/s, what is the furthest distance, d, that the Tech player can be from the goal line and still make a touchdown?

    furthest distance d = 24 m

    Explanation:

    LSU football defender = 6 m

    LSU player is running = 5 m/s

    receiver running = 4 m/s

    to find out

    furthest distance d

    solution'we take here 2 equation

    distance = velocity * time

    d = 4 * t ... 1

    6 + d = 5 * t ... 2

    so now put d value in equation 2 we get time

    6 + 4t = 5 * t

    t = 6 sec

    now this t value put in equation 1

    d = 4 * t

    d = 4 (6)

    distance = 24 m

    so furthest distance d = 24 m
