Question 884427: rosa works due north. her husband works due east they leave for work at same time. by the time rosa is 5 miles from home the distance between them is 1 mile more than ray distance from home. how far is ray from home Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! rosa and ray's distances form a right triangle, let x be ray's distance then
5^2 + x^2 = (x+1)^2
25 + x^2 = x^2 +2x +1
25 = 2x +1
2x = 24
x = 12
ray is 12 miles from home
