Answer:

Ben and Susan will be 340 miles apart

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: We plot the problem on a graph to visualize the problem

Step 2: We notice that the problem creates a right triangle with the distance Ben and Susan travel as the legs of the right triangle

Step 3: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c² to solve the distance between Ben and Susan

Step 4: We enter the numbers into the formula

a² + b² = c²

300² + 160² = c²

90000 + 25600 = c²

115600 = c² *square root both sides

c = 340

Therefore Ben and Susan are 340 miles apart
