NOTE TO THE STUDENT:
---
80*80 means 80 multiplied by 80
we use asterisk (*) to show multiplication, rather than using "x", because "x" is often used for variables such as:
x + y = 180
---
h = sqrt( xx + yy )
80 = sqrt( 2xx )
80*80 = 2xx
xx = 40*80
x = 56.568542
---
answer:
each car traveled about 57 miles
