    Answer: Gustavo is 261.96 meters away from Aiden. Or Aiden is 261.96 meters away from Gustavo.

    Step-by-step explanation: From the question, considering a North, East, South and west pole, Gustavo ran 23° above the east horizontal, while Aiden ran 33° below the east horizontal.

    Therefore, Where a and b are distances travelled respectively by Gustavo and Aiden. While θ is the angle between them. the total angle between them is 23 + 33 = 56°. Therefore, let the distance between them be c and we can calculate that using the cosine law. c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ. Therefore, let the distance between them be c and we can calculate that using the cosine law. c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ.

    Therefore, they are 261.96 meters apart.

    c² = 300² + 250² - 2 (300) (250) cos 56

    c² = 90000 + 62500 - 83878.9355

    c² = 68621.0645

    c = √68621.0645

    c = 261.96 m
