Question 212533
Steve and Lynn are running away from something. Steve ran 3 miles West. Lynn ran the square root of 2 miles North East. Steve and Lynn have walkie talkies with a 4 miles range. Will Steve and Lynn be able to reach each other on the walkie talkies? 
---------------
Put the Origin at the starting point.
Steve is at (-3,0), Lynn is at (1,1)
{{{s = sqrt(diffy^2 + diffx^2)}}}
{{{s = sqrt(1 + 16)}}}
{{{s = sqrt(17)}}}
s > 4 miles, so maybe not.
