This question would be a geometry question. As you can see from the picture attached below, the path taken by the runner forms a right triangle. The 3 miles West would equal the base of the triangle while the 8 miles North will be the side. This means that the hypotenuse (marked by x) is the straight path home that we need to find the value for. We can do this by using the Pythagorean Theorem, which is the following formula

In this formula, the variables a and b are the sides of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. Now we can apply the values of the triangle below and solve for c.

9 + 64 = 
73 =
... apply square root on both sides
8.54 = x
Finally, we can see that the run straight back home would be 8.54 miles.
In my opinion, the most important legacy of ancient Greece is its politics - to be more precise, I am referring to <u>democracy</u>.
Democracy today is a very important political ideology which originated in ancient Greece. So if it hadn't been for ancient politicians and philosophers in Greece, there probably wouldn't have been even the notion of democracy today.

For example, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were among the early settlers of the West, pioneers of the Oregon Trail. Their missionary party, headed to Oregon in 1836, included also Henry and Eliza Spalding. The two wives, Narcissa and Eilza, were the first white women to cross the Rocky Mountains.
Answer:
Yes, definitely. I think that it has created a much safer U.S. The 9/11 attacks were a real eye opener for future terrorists, and the department of homeland security has helped keep people safe.
