Your question isn't quite clear, but the straight-line distance if you were to travel diagonally to the same end point from 9 miles west of a starting point, then 12 miles south, would be 15 miles (southwest from starting point is direction). This is found by using pythagorean theorem: squaring 9, squaring 12, adding these values and taking the square root.
9^2 + 12^2 = ___^2
