Question

Two cars have reached their destinations. One traveled 32 km north, and the other traveled 25 km

east. What is the distance between them?​

Answer 1

NE = 40.61km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

North, N = 32

East, E = 25

To resultant distance, NE

We would use Pythagoras theorem;

NE² = N² + E²

NE² = 32² + 25²

NE² = 1024 + 625

NE² = 1649

Taking the square root of both sides

NE = 40.61km
