    Without even considering the lines, you can answer this.

    The line is between Clarksville and Center City. The labels are not miles squared, they are just miles. It has to be the second one.

    Not that anyone asked, but you can get the result:

    a^2 = b^2 + c^2

    a^2 = 32.5^2 + 65^2

    a^2 = 1056.25 + 4225

    a^2 = 5281.25

    a @ 72.67
