Answer:
√(32)\text{ mi}

Explanation:

The Pythagoras theorem of right triangle says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

From the given figure , the hypotenuse of the right triangle =
√(113)\text{ mi}

Then According to Pythagoras theorem , we have


(√(113))^2=x^2+(9)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=113-81\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=32\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=√(32)\text{ mi}
