Answer:  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Jogging West and then North forms a 90° triangle where 3 miles West and 4 miles North are the legs.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse.

a²  + b²  = c²

(3)² + (4)² = c²

9   +  16  = c²

     25     = c²

    √25   = √c²

        5     = c
