Start from the meeting point hence reverse the directions
1. Go 4 km west and 10 km south to where A lives
2.Go 6 km east and 8 km north to where B lives

Now we need to find the distance between A and B so connect points A and B to form two right angle triangles, using pythogurus theorem, hypotenuse of both triangles can be determined, then add the values.

1) sqrt(4^2 + 10^2) = 10.77 km
2) sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = 10 km

The distance between A and B = 20.77 km
