Two friends leave school at the same time, Sarah is heading due north and Beth is heading due east. One hour later they are 5 miles apart. If Sarah had traveled 4 miles from the school, how many miles had Beth traveled?
OA. 2 miles
ОВ.
1 mile
OC. 3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If you picture this scene in your head, you will get a simple 3x4x5 right triangle. 4 times 2 is 8, 5 times 2 is 10, so Sarah should, by now, have traveled 3 times 2 miles.

Final Sarah has traveled 6 miles after an hour.

Hope this helped! :)

Helping tip: The reason it is not 4 is because they are not traveling west and east away from each other. They are traveling north and east, so they are moving in two directions to form a right triangle, and the hypotenuse would be 10 (miles). The side, or distance, that Beth has traveled is 8. So as this is a typical variation of a 3x4x5 triangle, Sarah will have traveled  6 miles.
