Question

Jose and Phillip leave their house at the same time. jose is traveling south at 5 mph, while Phillip is traveling west at 10 mph. How far apart are they after 4 hours. (Round to the nearest tenth of a mile)

Answer 1

they are forming a right triangle with their distances traveled being the legs and the distance they are apart is the hypotenuse

d=r*t

d=5*4=20 miles

d=10*4=40 miles

x=distance they are from each other (the hypotenuse)

x^2=20^2+40^2

x^2=400+1600

x^2=2000

x=√2000

x=44.7 miles apart
