A man was cycling south wards at a speed of 10 miles / hr when he met another man who was cycling west wards at the speed of 11 miles / hr. How far apart they would be after a period of 01 hour
--------------
Their distances in miles from the meeting point are 10t and 11t, t in hours.
The distance between them is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
d%5E2+=+%2810t%29%5E2+%2B+%2811t%29%5E2+=+221t%5E2
d+=+t%2Asqrt%28221%29
