The angle between them is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+90+-+15+=+75+\" degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = distance the 1st car has traveled in km
\n" ); document.write( "\"+cos%28+75+%29+=+d%2F15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.2588+=+d%2F15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+3.882+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st car has traveled 3,882 m
\n" ); document.write( "
