Answer:

√89 km

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

x² = 25+64

=89

Think about it on a graph. Plot down your cardinal points on the X and y axis, and plot the path the yacht would take. It would end up forming a triangle, in which case the length you travel is the hypotenuse.
