There would be 14 miles between the two schools 

The distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be 10 blocks as per right-angle triangle.

What is a right-angle triangle?

A right-angle triangle is a triangle that consists of a right-angle. Three side of a right-angle triangle are base, height, and hypotenuse.

Here, two arms of the right-angle are base and height. The largest arm of this triangle is hypotenuse.

The relation between these three sides is:

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Jane walks 6 blocks east from home. Miguel walks 8 blocks north.

Therefore, they are as if walking through the base and height of a right-angle triangle respectively.

Now, the distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be the hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle.

Here,  the distance between two schools

= √(6² + 8²) blocks

= √100 blocks

= 10 blocks    (distance can't be negative)
