Oh, this looks like a pythag problem, to better understand pythag go to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

 

So, we have Belmont 7 miles north, and Newton 6 miles east:

 

 

So, our a is 7 and our b is 6

 

We have to fit the formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

49 + 36 = c^2

85 = c^2

so the square root of 85 is

approximately 9.2
