Answer 1

Answer:

6√2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the solution diagram drawn :

We have a right angled triangle, the distance between Walmart mad chick-FIL is a measure of the hypotenus of the right angled triangle ;

The hypotenus, = √(opposite² + adjacent²)

Hypotenus = √6² + 6²

Hypotenus = √(36 + 36)

Hypotenus = √72

Hypotenus = √36 * 2 = √36 * √2 = 6√2 miles
