Answer:

60 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Using Pythagoras rule :

Hypotenus = sqrt(Adjacent^2 + opposite^2)

From the attached picture :

x² = 87^2 - 63^2

x^2 = 7569 - 3969

X^2 = 3600

Take the square root of both sides :

X = sqrt(3600)

X = 60 feets

Hence, Katy and Tony are 60 feets apart
