Answer:
11.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached diagram.
The mall is 5 miles west and 3 miles south of the City Center. And the park is 4 miles east and 4 miles north of the Center.
Now, if we consider the City Center as the origin (0,0), then the coordinates of the Park are (4, 4) and that of the Mall are (- 5, - 3).
Therefore, the distance between the Mall and the Park will be
[tex]\sqrt{(4 + 5)^{2} + (4 + 3)^{2}} = 11.4[/tex] miles. (Answer)
