Two bottle rockets are simultaneously launched on parallel paths, from 5 feet apart on level ground. After 0.1 second, the rockets are at the same height.

Which theorem or definition can you use to show that the rockets are still 5 feet apart 0.1 second after launch?

Help asap please it's due today :)

Answer:

The definition of parallel lines are lines that have a constant minimum distance between them at any given point along the lines, such that the lines are the same distance apart all through

Therefore, given that we have;

1) The path of the two bottle rockets are parallel,

2) The initial distance between the two rocket on level ground = 5 feet = The perpendicular (shortest) distance between the two rockets

3) The shortest distance between the rockets having the same height moving on parallel path will be constant = 5 feet

4) The height of the two rockets after 0.1 second = Constant = 5 feet

5) Therefore, by the definition of parallel lines, distance between the two rockets which are at the same height after 0.1 second will still be 5 feet
