Answer 1

Answer:

You have not given us the lattitude, nor the altitudes, so we cannot say.

If this was on a flat level plane, instead of various distances above the surface of a sphere, we could give you an answer fairly easily.

The square root of (70 squared plus 168 squared) miles

But there is no place on Earth where that is true.
