Question 760345: two cars started from the same point. one travels north at 55 mi/h and the other traveled west at 65 mi/h. how far apart were the cars after 3 hours? round to the nearest tenth of a mile Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source):

where r is the rate at which the cars are separating moving away from each other.
