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

a^{2} +b^{2}  = c^{2}

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.

3^{2}  + 8^{2}  = x^{2}

9 + 64 = x^{2}

73 = x^{2}   ... apply square root on both sides

8.54 = x

Finally, we can see that the run straight back home would be 8.54 miles.

ioda

Answer:

A. Increased tensions between the North and South

Explanation:

The North viewed Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry to be the actions for their cause, and wrote them as heroes and martyrs. On the other hand, the South believed that Brown's raid was detrimental to their life styles (being heavily dependent on slaves), and that his actions may lead to unintended consequences. This led them to double-down on security.
