Rachel rides her bicycle due east at 12 kilometers per hour. Amos rides his bicycle due north at 16 kilometers per hour. If they left from the same point at
the same time, how far apart will they be after 2 hours?

40 km away.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case, a = 16 * 2 = 32 km, since he travels 16 km per hour for 2 hours.

b = 12 * 2 = 24 km, since she travels 12 km per hour for 2 hours.

32^2 + 24^2 = c^2

1,024 + 576 = c^2

1600 = c^2

c^2 = 1600

c = plus or minus 40

Since distance cannot be negative, they will be 40 km away.

Hope this helps!
