Question 506287: You and your friend part at an intersection. You drive off north at 50 mph, and your friend drives east at 50mph. After three hours the distance between you and your friend is_____ miles. Answer by xdragonfight(116) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3hour = 150 miles
north is up and east is right so to find out the distance is to use a^2+B^2=C^2(SQRT)
150^2+150^2=45000
the square root of 45000 is 212.13 miles
they are 212.13 miles in between
