9. On level farmland, two runners leave at the same time from the intersection of two country roads. One runner jogs due north at a constant rate of 8 miles per hour while the second runner jogs due east at a constant rate that is 4 miles per hour faster than the first runner's rate. How far apart, to the nearest mile, will they be after 2 1 hour ? (A) 6 (B) 7 (C) 8 (D) 12 (E) 14
north ---- 8mile/h, east ----12 miles/h, 1/2 hour ----- 4^2 + 6^2 = 根号 52, wrong ?
