Two cars start from the same point driving in opposite directions. both cars drive 6miles. one car stops, the other car makes a 90° left-hand turn, and drive 8 miles. how far
apart are the two cars now?
the cars are
miles apart.
round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile. enter the number only!

Explanation:

1. By driving 6 miles each, the cars will be 6 miles + 6 miles = 12 miles appart.

2. When one car stops and the other car makes a 90° left-hand turn and drive 8 miles, you can model the situation with a right triangle, where one leg is 12 miles, the other leg is 8 miles, and the hypotenuse is the distance that separates the cars.

Hence, you must use Pythagoras to find that distance.
