same distance towards North. How far is one from the other one?
a. 3 km
b. 12 km
c. 4/2 km
d. 6/2 km​

Answer 1

distance between the cyclist

as they are moving perpendicular to each other so

as per Pythagorean theorem

√(6²+6²)=√72= 6√2 km.

option d. is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

6√2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1 travel distance towards west and other towards north then they form an angle of 90°. using pythagorus theorem ;

(6)^2 + (6)^2 = (s)^2

36 +36 = s^2

72 = s^2

s = √72

s = 6√2 km
