Answer:

8.60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If S=station​ G, not shown on the​ map, is 5 miles east and 7 miles south of Station A, the approximate distance between Station E and Station G when traveling by​ subway will be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem.

EG² = 5²+7²

EG² = 25+49

EG² = 74

EG = √74

EG = 8.60 miles

Hence the approximate distance between Station E and Station G when traveling by​ subway is 8.60miles
