If the distance between Venus and the Sun is about 67 million miles, the distance between Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles, and VS is perpendicular to ES, what is the distance (to the nearest miles ) between Venus and Earth

Answer 1

Venus to Earth = 114.6211 million miles = 114, 621, 100 miles
