To find the length of the hypotenuse (c), we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case, a = 7 miles and b = 7 miles. Plug these values into the formula:

(7)^2 + (7)^2 = c^2
49 + 49 = c^2
98 = c^2

To solve for c, take the square root of both sides:

c = √98
c ≈ 9.9 miles

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 9.9 miles.
