Question 1140960: At noon, car A left town heading due East at 50 miles per hour. A 1:00PM,
car B left the same town heading due North at 40 miles per hour. How
far apart will they be at 3:30PM? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a right triangle, and the hypotenuse will be the distance between them.
Eastbound car goes 175 miles by 330 pm
north bound has gone 100 miles by 330 pm
100^2+175^2=40625
square root of that is 201.56 miles
