Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two legs of Deborah's hike form the right-angle legs of a right triangle. The shortest distance is then the hypotenuse of that triangle, found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 +16 = 25

  d = √25 = 5

Deborah ends 5 miles from her start.

is it possible draw a right triangle with and obtuse angle? if so draw it in the box if not write impossible. is it possible guy

It is not possible. Since one of the angles has to be a right angle, the other two angles would have to add to 90. Therefore, neither of these angles can be more than 90 degrees. 

Hope this helps
