The total distance between the two women would simply be the sum of the hypotenuse formed by the triangular path they created.

For each women:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

c^2 = 9 + 16

c^2 = 25

c = 5 m

Therefore the distance between the two is:

distance between the two women = 2 * c

distance between the two women = 10 m
