Problem: My neighborhood is full of one-way streets. To drive from my house to the grocery store, I have to go 1 block south, then 1 block east, then 5 blocks north, then 2 blocks east. Each block is $\frac{1}{16}$ of a mile. How much shorter would my trip be if I could fly like a bird (that is, travel in a straight line)? Explain your solution, and give your answer in miles.

Question from me: How could you answer this using the Pythagorean Theorem? Please insert a picture for reference (not required).
