Step1: Apply triangle - inequality theorem

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side. Here, the three points (house, bank, farmer's market) form a triangle, and the direct distance from house to farmer's market is 5 miles. The path from house to bank and then to farmer's market is the sum of two sides of the triangle.
