The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour from the intersection point towards South.
The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is 
.
The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is 
.
Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d (in miles) at the end of t hours is
Thus the distance apart is 
Answer:
The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m
The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m
The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;
The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)
∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63
In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
