An Austin Mini and a Nissan Maxima leave an intersection in Kingston at the same time.
The Austin Mini, driven by Jackie, travels south at 80 km/h, and the Maxima, driven by Josh,
travels cast at 90 km/h. Al what rate is the distance between the two cars changing 30

The cars are traveling at right angles to each other.
Therefore the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
The legs of the triangle are 80t and 90t, where t is the time in hours.
What is the hypotenuse? and how fast is it growing?

d = √(90t + 60t)
Now determine d / dt.

Actually the distance is √(80^2 t^2 + 90^2 t^2)06/21/22
