    Answer:

    Explanation:

    Let the car A be at distance x and car B be at distance – y  from origin (00) Distance between them be r so that , r = √( .4² + .3²) = .5 mi

    r² = x² + y²

    differentiating on both sides

    2r dr/dt = 2 x dx/dt + 2 ydy / dt

    r dr/dt =  x dx/dt +  ydy / dt

    r dr / dt = .4 x 60 + .3 x 40

    .5dr / dt = .4 x 60 + .3 x 40

    dr / dt = (24 +12 )/ .5

    = 72 mi / h
