Two planes leave the airport, one is heading north and the other is heading west. After several minutes, the first plane is 12 miles north of the airport and the second plane is 15 miles west of the airport. Estimate the distance between the two planes to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

Answer:

19.21

Step-by-step explanation:

When you draw this out, it forms a right angled triangle with h = 12miles, and base = 15 miles.

So, the distance between them = the hypotenuse of this triangle.

Square root of (15^2 + 12^2) = 19.209...

Round to nearest hundredth = 19.21.

Hope this helps
