You start driving north for 3 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 4 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point?

The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Driving 3 miles north and 4 miles east and then the straight line distance will form a right angled triangle.

Where;

One leg =  a = 3 miles

Other leg = b = 4 miles

Hypotenuse = c

Using Pythagoras theorem;

Taking square root on both sides

The straight line distance is 5 miles from starting point.
