Question 460076: 2 cars are on the 2 staright roads which cross at right angle. If the cars are 20m and 99m from the intersection, how far apart are they? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One car 9m
another car 22m
distance between them x m
By Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = Leg1^2+leg2^2
x ^2=81+484
x ^2=565
x= 23.77 m
