Answer: 8 miles

Step-by-step explanation: If we drew out the problem we would get a right triangle where d is the hypotenuse and the 16 miles south and the 12 miles east would be the legs of such a triangle. Then using the Pythagorean theorem we get:

d^2=16^2+12^2=400

If we then take the square root of both sides we get:

d=\sqrt{400} =20

Then we realize that the pilot was forced to travel 8 extra miles because

(16+12)-20=28-20=8
