Answer:

40 km away.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case, a = 16 * 2 = 32 km, since he travels 16 km per hour for 2 hours.

b = 12 * 2 = 24 km, since she travels 12 km per hour for 2 hours.

32^2 + 24^2 = c^2

1,024 + 576 = c^2

1600 = c^2

c^2 = 1600

c = plus or minus 40

Since distance cannot be negative, they will be 40 km away.
