Two cars leave the same parking lot, with one heading north and the other heading east. After several minutes, the northbound car has traveled 4 kilometers, and the eastbound car has traveled 3 kilometers. Measured in a straight line, how far apart are the two cars?

The distance between them is 5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Distance between them

The scenario can be represented with the attached image

The distance between them is then calculated using Pythagoras theorem

Take square roots of both sides

the above table 1 will calculate the population size (n) after a certain length of time (t). all you need to do is plug in the initial population number (no), the growth rate (r) and the length of time (t). the constant (e) is already entered into the equation. it stands for the base of the natural logarithms (approximately 2.71828). growth rate (r) and time (t) must be expressed in the same unit of time, such as years, days, hours or minutes. for humans, population growth rate is based on one year. if a population of people grew from 1000 to 1040 in one year, then the percent increase or annual growth rate is 40/1000 x 100 = 4 percent.
