Question 873271: Anyone able to help please?
Two cars leave a gas station at the same time. One travels due south at 32 miles per hour, and the other travels due west at 46 miles per hour. How far apart are they after 1 1/2 hours? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.
A. 84.054 miles
B. 56.036 miles
C. 78 miles
D. 117 miles
Answer by Seutip(231) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
After 1 1/2 hours.
The car due west is 69 miles away from the gas station (I hope you get it)
The car due south is 48 miles away from the gas station
Therefore, they form a right triangle with their distance from each other as hypotenuse (c):
miles
That's letter A.
Hope it helps!
