During a wicked thunderstorm, Sam sees two bolts of lightning simultaneously strike two points 5.66 m apart. Pam, however, finds that one of these lightning bolts strikes 13.50 ns after the first. By astounding coincidence, Pam is traveling exactly in the direction defined by a line through the two lightning srtikes. According to Pam, how far apart do the two lightning bolts strike?
