Question 349511: A car leaves an intersection traveling west. Its position 4 sec later is 24 ft from the intersection. At the same time, another car leaves the same intersection heading north so that its position 4 sec later is 25 ft from the intersection. If the speed of the cars at that instant of time is 8 ft/sec and 6 ft/sec, respectively, find the rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing.
