    Answer:

    • A) 15 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    • The First street is vertical leg of the right triangle. Side f
    • The Main street is horizontal leg of the right triangle. Side m  
    • Angle x is opposite to side m.
    • tan x = m/f = 7/5

    If m = 21 miles then using the above ratio find the value of f:

    • 21/f = 7/5
    • f = 21*5/7 = 15

    Correct choice is A
