You are in a car. The car begins your journey by traveling 3 miles south in a straight path. The car then travels 9 miles east in a straight path and then turns and travels another 9 miles south in a straight path to end the journey. What is the straight-line distance between the point where you started the journey and where the car ended the journey?
