Two cyclists

Two cyclists set off at the same time from the same point. One travels north at 20 km/h and the other travels east at 26 km/h. What is the straight-line distance between them after 30 minutes?

Final Answer:

s =  16.4012 km

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 90° t=30/60=21=0.5 a=20 t=20 0.5=10 b=26 t=26 0.5=13 s=a2+b2=102+132=269=16.4012 km
