Answer:

  12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances of interest are the sides of a right triangle whose right angle is at Bruce. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the Teacher-Ruth distance. The unknown side (x) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  x² + 9² = 15²

  x² = 225 -81 = 144

  x = √144 = 12

Bruce and Ruth are 12 meters apart.
