The one way journey is 45 miles

Here, we want to get the number of miles for the one way trip

To calculate this, we have to look at the triangle formed on the left

By calculating this distance, we have the value of the number of miles traveled on a leg

We need the base and height of the triangle

The base is the x-axis change from the orgin while the height is the y-axis change from the origin

Looking at the graph, we can see that this value moves from 45 miles to 0 miles

So, the distance traveled is 45 miles on a leg of the journey
