Wouldn't that be just a right triangle? One side 5×5=25 feet long, the other 5×1=5 feet long so the hypotenuse would be the square root of (25²+5²) or around 25,5 feet.

That's basic geometry right? It's been quite a few month but I'm pretty sure I still can do highschool level maths.

That's the distance yes, but how fast are they moving away from eachother

(5^2 + 1^2)^0.5 = 5.1ft/s

Well, like I said I failed math so I'll take your word for it
