Answer:

The answer to your question is: 7.28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

data

H (2, 7)

S (-5, 5)

1 map unit = 1 mile

Formula

d = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

d = √(-5-2)²  + (5- 7)²

d = √ (-7² + -2²)

d = √ 49 +4

d = √53

d = 7.28 units

But

                   1 unit ----------------  1 mile

              7.28 units -------------    x

 x = 7.28 x 1/1 = 7.28 miles
