You can answer this by using Pythagoras theorem. Okay, let me draw this first.

            2 miles
               V
________________________
|                                        |
|                                        |
|                                        |   << 1.5 miles
|_______________________|  

^ Assume this is the rectangle. The long side is 2 miles while the shorter side is 1.5 miles.

So, to get the shortest distance, let's cut out a triangle from the rectangle. 

                                                         /|
                                                       /  |
                                                     /    |
What we want to find is this one >  /      |  << 2 miles
                                                  /        |
                                                /______|
                                                   ^ 1.5 miles (I know the size is not logical,but imagine                                                                       it please)

So to get the diagonal length = \sqrt{{a^{2} }+ b^{2}}
                                          =  \sqrt{{2^{2} }+ 1.5^{2}}
                                          =  2.5 miles

To calculate how much shorter = ( 2 miles + 1.5 miles) - 2.5 miles
                                             = 3.5 miles - 2.5 miles
                                             = 1.0 miles

Hope this help !

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{17}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalizing the denominator of a fraction is when one multiplying fraction such that it removes any radical from the denominator. This can be done by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the radical that is present in the denominator. In fractional terms, a number over itself is equal to one, therefore, doing this would keep the equation true. After multiplying, one will simplify the resulting fraction.

\frac{17}{4\sqrt{17}} * \frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}}\\\\= \frac{17\sqrt{17}}{4(17)}\\

Simplify like factor found in both the numerator and the denominator,

\frac{17\sqrt{17}}{4(17)}\\\\= \frac{\sqrt{17}}{4}
