rosa works north of her home. her husband works east they leave at the sane time. by the time rosa is 7 miles from home, the distance between them is obe more mile than rays distance from home. how far is ray from home

Answer 1

This problem requires the Pythagorean therom.

The distance between them is 7.

Since the distance between them is one more mile than ray's distance from home ray is 6 miles from home.

So rosa is $\sqrt{7^2-6^2}$

So rosa is $\sqrt{13}$ miles away from home.

Rosa is about 3.6 miles from home.
