Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{500 \ miles}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed.

300 miles and 400 miles are the legs of the triangle.

We can apply Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]c=\sqrt{300^2 +400^2 }[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{90000 +160000}[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{250000}[/tex]

[tex]c=500[/tex]
