The distance would be 22+1.52

The distance would be 2 squared plus 1 point 5 squared

The distance would be longer than going across A street to B street to get to Sarah's house.

The hypotenuse can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the two legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

So, in this case, the hypotenuse would be sqrt((1.5)^2 + (2)^2) = sqrt(2.25 + 4) = sqrt(6.25) = 2.5 miles. So, the length of the hypotenuse would be 2.5 miles.
