Answer:
40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached diagram, Point A is the starting point and C is the end point. We want to determine the distance from A to C.
The path driven forms a right triangle in which AC is the hypotenuse.
We therefore use the<u> Pythagorean Theorem</u> to solve for the AC.
Pythagorean Theorem: 

The straight line distance from the starting point is 40 miles.
Zx because letters always have to line up woth each other c is place z and a is place x (i loved this unit )
