Q: A hospital wants to model the distance between two ambulances leaving at right angles, one at 35 mph and the other at 40 mph. After 2 hours, what is the distance between them?

$$\sqrt{(35 \times 2)^2$ + (40 \times 2)^2$} = \sqrt{70^2$ + 80^2$} = \sqrt{4900 + 6400} = \sqrt{11300} \approx 106.3$$ miles
