hello, i've got my answer for this problem but i just don't know how to translate it in "miles apart" thank you for your help. Two vehicles, a car and truck, leave an intersection at the same time. CAR heads east at speed of 60 mph, while the TRUCK heads south @ a speed of 20 mph. Find an expression for their distance apart d(in miles) at the end of t hours. ***at the end of t hours, the vehicles are how many miles apart? (THIS IS THE ONLY PART I NEED)
