Two jeeps at a 90 degree angle to each other try to pull a car out of the snow. If one jeep exerts a force of 600lbs. and the other exerts a force of 800lbs , what is the resulting force on the car stuck in the snow?

\n" ); document.write( "Wouldn't the resultant force be the hypotenuse formed by these two right triangles?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "F = SqRt(600^2 + 800^2)
\n" ); document.write( "F = 1000 lbs \n" ); document.write( "
