Question 1011938: Two people were walking in opposite directions. Both of them walked 6 miles forward then took right and walked 8 miles. How far is each from starting positions? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each person makes a 6 - 8 - 10 triangle with
the 10 miles being the distance from starting point.
Note that it is similar to a 3 - 4 - 5 triangle
