Post #137,911 by Steve Lowe 1/26/04 4:28:45 PM Reply	car problem Pythagorean Theorem: in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the sides = the square of the hypotenuse. Cars drive distance A (6) turn left and drive distance B (8). (66)+(88)=100. Sqroot of 100 is 10, the distance is double since we're talking about 2 cars, therefore answer is 20. And that's about all the trig I remember. :) ----- Steve
Post #137,915 by broomberg 1/26/04 4:36:47 PM Reply	I knew the name Really. I just didn't know the formula. So I drew the starting point, the cars moving away. Then each turn. I labeled the distance. I then used my hand as as a protracter, swiveled toward the center, and marked it. This left a visual distance of a few miles. I guessed in the 20 area. 20 was one of the answers. I marked it.

Post #137,917 by Another Scott 1/26/04 4:39:08 PM Reply	Easier. They're 3:4:5 right triangles. The sides are 6 and 8 so the hypotenuse is 10. Times 2 = 20. No square roots required. :-) Cheers, Scott.
