If Jane walks North for 3 miles, turns 45 degrees to the right, and then walks another 4 miles, how many miles will Jane be from her starting point? Give your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

(3 + 4 sin 45)^2   +  (4 cos 45)^2   = d^2     d= 6.478 miles   (6.48 miles   rounded)
