For the first one, the height difference is 3, and the length difference is 4, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem!

A² + B² = C²

3² + 4² = C²

9 + 16 = C²

25 = C²

$\sqrt 25$ = 5

The answer to the first question is 5 units.

Next, we can use the same formula! The sides are 9 and 6 miles

A² + B² = C²

6² + 9² = C²

36 + 81 = C²

117 = C²

$\sqrt117$ = 10.81

Hope this helps :)
