The attached figure represents the explanation of the problem.

The distance between the house and the point B = 7 - 5 = 2

The distance between the house and the cell tower = 4

While the angle B is a right angle.

So, The distance between the house and the cell tower represents the hypotenuse

x and the distance between the house and the cell tower will be the legs

So, x = \sqrt{4^2 - 2^2} = \sqrt{16 - 4} =\sqrt{12} =3.464

The east distance between Town and House = 2 + x = 2 + 3.464 = 5.464 ≈ 5.5 miles

<u>So, The house will be located 5.5 miles east of the town</u>
