5 miles4 milesx milesThe solid lines in the figure above represent the route of a driver and the dashed line represents the distance from her starting point to the point at which the driver stopped Wh

Since the driver's route is represented by the solid lines, we can see that she traveled 5 miles and then 4 miles. This means that she traveled a total of 9 miles before stopping.

The dashed line represents the distance from her starting point to where she stopped. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find this distance:

dashed line = √(5^2 + 4^2) dashed line = √41

Therefore, x is equal to the length of the dashed line, which is √41 miles.
