Answer:
9.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that [tex]A^{2} + B^{2} = C^{2}[/tex]. Therefore, we can substitute 8 (the distance traveled due east) for A and 5 (the distance traveled due north) for B.
[tex]8^{2} + 5^{2} = 89[/tex]
To find the answer, simply take the square root of 89, and round it to the nearest tenth.
[tex]\sqrt{89} = 9.433981[/tex]
