Write python code that will figure out the below scenario.

Two trains leave the station going in the opposite direction  at X miles from the station, each train makes a right turn and travels Y miles to the destination.  How far are the destinations from each other.   

You will need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. 

Note that there are two right triangles in this diagram.  

  1. Calculate the distance that one is (dotted line) from the other.  
  2. Print the distance each train traveled and the distance one train is from the other.  
  3. Show the variables output in a string, an integer and a floating point decimal. 
  4. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.  

* Or the written python code should be ready for any vaule input. User can make up a value for X and Y miles.
