After 3 more miles both of them quit, because they realize driving a big car like this doesn´t make any sense in town. One of them suddenly realizes that he has forgot his brandnew Playstation 4 in the car of the other guy. So he charters a helicopter because he is really nerved by all the traffic and flies to the guy. What is the shortest distance he is able to take to get his brandnew PS4?  |
10 miles.
You can make two right triangles out of the paths each driver takes. Each right triangle has a hypotenuse of 5 miles (sqrt(3^2 + 4^ 2)) and adding them up gives 10 miles.
