Answer:

450 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between the two airports, we can use the distance formula:

distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two airports.

In this case, the coordinates of airport A are (125, -325) and the coordinates of airport B are (125, 125). So we have:

distance = sqrt((125-125)^2 + (125-(-325))^2)

distance = sqrt(0^2 + 450^2)

distance = sqrt(202500)

distance = 450

Therefore, the distance between the two airports is 450 miles.
