    Exchange Street: a blocks.

    Market Street: b = 3 blocks.

    Main Street: c = 5 blocks.

    We will use the Pythagorean theorem:

    a² + b² = c²

    a² = c² - b²

    a² = 5² - 3² = 25 - 9 = 16

    a = √16

    a = 4

    4 + 3 = 7 blocks

    7 - 5 = 2 blocks

    Answer:

    The saved distance is 2 blocks.
