You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two ships leave port at the same time. Ship A sails north at a speed of 10 mph while ship B sails east at a speed of 35 mph.
Find an expression in terms of the time t (in hours) giving the distance between two ships.
:
This is a right triangle problem, c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where
c = is the distance between the ship after t hrs
a = 10t
b = 35t
:
Dist =
