- <---- 13 ----> E 2 C <---- 13 ----> D | | 10 | | B <--- 8 ---> A That's a rough approximation of the layout of the locations. The basic differences between E and A are that E is 5 miles east of A and is 12 miles to the north. That gives us a right-angled triangle with sides of 5 and 12..... so the distance between them is the hypoteneuse , which will be the square root of the sum of 52 and 122. 52 = 25 122 = 144 25 + 144 = 169 √169 = 13 So it is 13 miles direct from A to E

How do you convert 3.4 square miles into miles?
You can't exactly. Square miles measures area. Miles measures distance. area is distance multiplied by distance. for instance 2 miles north multiplied by 2 miles east gives 4 square miles North East
The distance from one point to another?
It depends on the route that you take. There is nothing in the question to suggest that the distance of interest is the shortest distance. In real life, the quickest route is not necessarily the shortest since travelling on highways may be faster even if longer. In such cases the relevant distance may not be the shortest. Also, you might wish to take the "scenic" route. In any built-up area the shortest meaningful distance between two points will not be "as the crow flies": the taxicab metric (for example 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North), which was developed by Minkowsky, is more appropriate. On the surface of a sphere, such as the Earth, the shortest distance is an arc of the great circle. In most cases this is not the straight line on a map.
