Answer:

The two teachers are 13 feet apart

Explanation:

Right Triangles

Ava, her math teacher, and her science teacher form a right triangle in which she is at the 90° vertex.

The distances from the three people must satisfy the Pythagora's theorem, where the distance between the two teachers (D) is the hypotenuse, thus:

D = 13 feet
