Answer:

b = 56km is the answer.

Explanation:

a (Northbound train) = 33km

b (Eastbound train) = ?

c (Distance between them) = 65km

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

33² + b² = 65²

1089 + b² = 4225

b² = 4225 - 1089

b² = 3136

b = 56km

∴ the eastbound train has travelled 56km.
