Answer:

  9.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle model is shown in the attachment. The lengths 6 m and 7 m are the legs of the triangle, and the requested distance is the hypotenuse. The given Pythagorean theorem equation can be used to find the desired distance:

  c² = a² +b²

  c² = 7² +6² = 49 +36 = 85

  c = √85 ≈ 9.2

Gabe and Adele are about 9.2 meters apart.
