Answer:

11 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A car travel 4 km east and 7 km west. We need to find the distance traveled by the car from the initial point. We know that the overall path covered is called distance. So,

distance = total path covered

D = 4 km + 7 km

D = 11 km

So, the distance of the car from the initial point is 11 km.
