A car and a truck are approaching a perpendicular intersection, with the car traveling at a constant rate of 60 mph and the truck traveling at a constant rate of 80 mph. Use the chain rule to calculate the rate at which the distance between the car and the truck is changing when the car is 3 miles from the intersection and the truck is 4 miles from the intersection. Simplify your answer.
