Answer:

The distance between them is 5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Car\ A =4km[/tex]

[tex]Car\ B =3km[/tex]

Required

Distance between them

The scenario can be represented with the attached image

The distance between them is then calculated using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]d^2 = 4^2 +3^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2 = 16 +9[/tex]

[tex]d^2 = 25[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]d = \sqrt{25[/tex]

[tex]d = 5[/tex]
