Answer: 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have here is a simple triangle whose hypothenuse is the straight line we're looking for.

Since we have both sides, a, and b, we can simply use pythagorean teorem to solve.

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2\\c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2}\\ c=\sqrt[]{3^2+4^2}\\ c=\sqrt[]{9+16} \\c=\sqrt[]{25}\\ c=5[/tex]
