If two cars start twenty miles apart facing oppasite ways. Then they drive sixty miles farword. Then they take a left turn and go sixty more miles.
What is the <b>total</b> distance between them?
/me Danger or any otrher of you smart @$$es even though it's in miles, doesn't mean you can't figure it out

each car makes a distance from point a to point b 70 miles(A being the half way point between the 2 at start) at point b they turn left(again traveling in opposite directions) to point C. So line AB(A) is 70miles, line BC(B) is 60 miles that means we need to find line CA(C ) for each car. A²+B²=C². which is 70²+60²=C². 4900+3600=8500 C²=92.195 Since that is the hypotenuse for each car, you must mutilply it times 2. Making the TOTAL distance 184.39. Now if you get a different answer, explain.
