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.
