<PRE><B>Question 810778</B>
 Mike and Sandra leave their house. Mike travels northward for 4 miles to get to his job, and Sandra travels west for 3 miles to get to her job. Find out how many miles apart they work.

Draw and label the picture.
You have a right triangle with sides 3 and 4.
Find the hypotenuse:
h = sqrt[3^2+4^2] = sqrt[25] = 5 miles
