An AU is the distance from Earth to the sun. Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun. Pluto is 39.5 AU from the Sun, so 39.5 - 1.52=37.98 approximately (plus or minus 10 AU) Of course, this depends where they are in their orbit. This distance only applies if they are aligned. Pluto has such a strange orbit calculations are +/- 9.8 AU

At their closest approach, the distance would be 38.01 AU.

At their most distant from each other, it would be 41.05 AU
