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.
