Answer :
wouldn't it actually be 2 miles but since its not listed I would say 4 because if there 10 miles apart and Sarah is 8miles from the school were they both started then 10-8=2. or you can take the two and divide it by 8 and get 4
If you picture this scene in your head, you will get a simple 3x4x5 right triangle. 4 times 2 is 8, 5 times 2 is 10, so Sarah should, by now, have traveled 3 times 2 miles.
Final answer: Sarah has traveled 6 miles after an hour.
Hope this helped! :)
Helping tip: The reason it is not 4 is because they are not traveling west and east away from each other. They are traveling north and east, so they are moving in two directions to form a right triangle, and the hypotenuse would be 10 (miles). The side, or distance, that Beth has traveled is 8. So as this is a typical variation of a 3x4x5 triangle, Sarah will have traveled 6 miles.
