$v = 3, 59 \frac{m}{s}$ $v=3,59 " "m/s$

$∠ = 68, 2^{o}$ $angle=68,2^o$

$first; let's displacement of B from perspective of A:$ $"first; let's displacement of B from perspective of A:"$

$A B = \sqrt{{(9 - 5)}^{2} + {(7 + 3)}^{2}}$ $AB=sqrt((9-5)^2+(7+3)^2)$

$A B = \sqrt{4^{2} + 10^{2}}$ $AB=sqrt(4^2+10^2)$

$A B = \sqrt{116}$ $AB=sqrt(116)$

$A B = 10, 77 m$ $AB=10,77" m"$

$v = \frac{A B}{3}$ $v=(AB)/3$

$v = \frac{10, 77}{3}$ $v=(10,77)/3$

$v = 3, 59 \frac{m}{s}$ $v=3,59 " "m/s$

$∠ = 68, 2^{o}$ $angle=68,2^o$
