Based on the information provided in the description of the diagram, we have the following points:
- The distance from your house to the bank is unknown but is part of the overall route you must take.
- The distance from the house to the farmer's market directly is 5 miles.
To reach the farmer's market via the bank, the total distance would include the distance from your house to the bank and then the distance from the bank to the farmer's market. Since the direct distance from the house to the farmer's market is 5 miles, and you are taking an additional stop at the bank, it makes sense that this route would result in a distance greater than 5 miles unless the bank is located on the direct line to the farmer's market.
Thus, the correct response is:
**The distance from your house to the bank and then the farmer’s market is greater than 5 miles.**
This is true because by adding another stop (to the bank) before reaching the farmer's market, it must increase the total distance traveled compared to the direct distance.
