by the Pythagorean Theorem: each car is a total distance of (the square root of 62 + 82) miles from the origin. which is the square root of (36 + 64 = 100) = 10 miles. since there are two cars, going in opposite directions, the total is 10 miles + 10 miles = 20 miles.
So the answer you are looking for is 20 miles.
Next time, do your studies so you can do your math homework by yourself. I can't help you on a test.
