Answer 1

Answer:

4.05 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram. (not in scale)

Let AB is the Clayton Road and its length is 2.35 miles and BC is the Wood Pike Road and it is 1.7 miles long.

So, the combined length of Clayton Road and Wood Pike Road is AC (= AB + BC)

So, the length of AC will be (2.35 +1.7) miles = 4.05 miles. (Answer)
