Answer:
the two towns are about 18.79 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
imagine that there is a triangle and side a (height) is 8 miles while side b (base) is 17 miles, and you are asked to find the distance of side c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 17^2 = c^2
8^2 = 64
17^2 = 289
√64 + 289 ≈ 18.79
Hope this helps! :D
