13 units. You have 5 units between 3 and 8 and 12 units between 4 and 16. So you have a right triangle with sides 5, 12, and x. That's a traingle where 5X5 + 12x12 = the square of the third side or 169. So the third side is 13 units long.

square root of (8-3)^2 + (16-4)^2

square root of 25 + 144

square root of 169

the answer is 13
