Answer:

D)  4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' Theorem: [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

(where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle)

Given:

  • a = Forrest Lane = 5 miles
  • b = Pine Avenue = 12 miles

⇒ 5² + 12² = c²

⇒ 169 = c²

⇒ c = √169 = 13

⇒ Cedar Drive = 13 miles

Number of miles saved = (12 + 5) - 13 = 4 miles
