Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 7.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse d is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

d² = 3² + 7² = 9 + 49 = 58 ( take the square root of both sides )

d = $\sqrt{58}$ ≈ 7.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
