Jeff has to walk 13.9 m north.

Jeff has to walk 14.3 m futher than Gail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gail takes a short cut, which is 14.9 m, so Gail moves by the hypotenuse.

Jeff goes the long way. He starts out walking east for 5.3 m, and then turns north, so Jeff mowes by two legs. Let x m be the distance Jeff goes north.

By the Pythagorean theorem,

So, Jeff has to walk 13.9 m north. In total, the long way is

Jeff has to walk

futher than Gail.
