The hikers started at point S.
The first hiker went 2 miles east and 1 mile north to point A.
The second hiker went 1 mile west and 3 miles south to point B.
See the figure below.

                                                              A
                                                              I
                           1 mile                         I    1 mile
                          I---------S------------------I
                          I                    2 miles
                          I
                          I
            3 miles   I
                          I
                          I
                          B


Now we need to see how much east and how much north hiker B is from hiker A.


                                                            A
                                                              I
                           1 mile                         I    1 mile
                          I---------S------------------I
                          I                    2 miles   I
                          I                                   I
                          I                                   I
            3 miles   I                                   I   3 miles
                          I                                   I
                          I                                   I
                          B----------------------------I
                                         3 miles

From point B go 3 miles east, then 3 + 1 = 4 miles north to point B.
The distance between the hikers is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of lengths 3 and 4.

3^2 + 4^2 = d^2

9 + 16 = d^2

d^2 = 25

d = 5

The distance between the hikers is 5 miles.

Answer:

2.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we multiply the length, 3.8, by the width, 1.5, to get the base, 5.7 (this step is not entirely necessary, but makes it much easier).  Then we divide the volume, 16.53, by the base, 5.7, to get the height, 2.9 meters.
