Car Travel on east = 5km
Car Travel on west =4km

Answer:
Total distance=9km
Shortest distance=6.4km (Approx)
Explanation:
We add the distances covered to find total distance
For shortest distance we have to use Pythagoras Theorem with 5 km as the base and 4 km as the height of the triangle.
Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse(square)=Base(square)+Height(square)
Hypotenuse(square)=5(square)+4(square)
Hypotenuse(square)=25+16
Hypotenuse=root of 41 = 6.4 (Approx)
