Answer:

  50

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the friends is changing at the constant rate of 50 mph.

___

The equation for the distance in the westerly direction is ...

  w = 30t . . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

The equation for the distance in the southerly direction is ...

  s = 40t . . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

Then the total distance between the friends is ...

  d = √((30t)² + (40t)²) = √(2500t²) = 50t  . . . . miles, where t is time in hours

And the rate of change of distance is the derivative of this with respect to t:

  dd/dt = 50 . . . . . . miles per hour
