Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires the Pythagorean theorem.

Car A travels north 100km in two hours.

Car B travels west 160km in two hours.

Imagine a triangle the line going up is 100km

the line going left is 160km

the formula for the Pythagorean theorem is

a^2+b^2=c^2

100^2+160^2=c^2

10000+25600=c

35600=c

√35600=c

You can draw a diagram.
