Answer:

33 miles

Explanation:

You will use the Pythagoras' theorem (
a^2+b^2=c^2)

Laura to her parents house is 'a', Her parents house to her grandparents house is 'c'


a^2+b^2=c^2\\c^2-a^2=b^2\\65^2-56^2=b^2\\4225-3136=b^2\\1089=b^2\\b=√(1089) \\b=33

Laura is 33 miles from her grandparents house
