Answer 1

Answer:

2.22 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming initially both were at the same point ...

Distance from Rico = 5.98 km.

Distance from Josh = 8.2 km in the same direction.

If they were going in the same direction, then the final distance between the two can be written as follows:

d = 8.2 - 5.98 = 2.22 km

After 20 minutes, Rico and Josh were 2.22 km away. of distance between them.
