2 people walk from the same point at a 45° angle from each other. One person walks at the speed of 2m/s and the other 3m/s. How far are they from each other after 5 minutes?
---------------
--> 2 sides of a triangle
5 min = 300 seconds
--> sides of 600 meters and 900 meters, with the included angle of 45 degs.
Use the Cosine Law.
