Two boats leave the same marina. One heads north, and the other heads east. After some time, the northbound boat has traveled 48 miles, and the eastbound boat has traveled 36 miles. How far apart are the two boats? miles

Respuesta :

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Distance = SQRT(48^2 + 36^2)

Distance = sqrt(2304 + 1296)

Distance = sqrt(3600)

Distance = 60

The boats are 60 miles apart.
