Answer 1

Answer :
21.6
Explanation :
Use Pythagorean theorem to solve it a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 2

21.6 miles

Explanation:

If you draw, it'll be a right triangle with legs 12 miles and 18 miles, we need to find the hypotenuse.

So,

`\sqrt{ {12}^(2) + 18^(2) }`

`= √(144 + 324)`

`= √(468)`

`= 6√(13)`

6√13 ≈ 21.6
