Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle is as follows,

$\sqrt{a^{2} } +b^{2}$

The line is supposed to be longer on the rooting but it won't go any longer so we just have to make do.

Anyways, a is 1 side length and b is the other. Doesn't matter which one you make b or a.

Now you just plug in and solve

$\sqrt{9} +25$ (that's after you square it)

add them

$\sqrt{34}$

simplify

5.83095189485

you can just stop at the hundredths place

5.83

You can estimate that it's about 6

and 6 is your answer
