Answer:

  13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how far from home Maeve is when she is 12 miles north and 5 miles east of home.

Distance

The distance from the origin to a point (x, y) is given by ...

  d = √(x² +y²)

In Maeve's case, we have (x, y) = (5, 12), so her distance from home is ...

  d = √(5² +12²) = √(25 +144) = √169

  d = 13

Maeve is 13 miles from home.
