John is trying to get from point \(A\) to point \(C,\) which is \(20\) miles away to the northeast; however the direct road from \(A\) to \(C\) is blocked and John must take a detour. John must travel due north to point \(B\) and then drive due east to point \(C.\) How many more miles will John travel due to the detour than if he had traveled the direct \(20\) mile route from \(A\) to \(C?\)

1) The ratio of the distance going north to the distance going east is \(4\) to \(3\)

2) The distance traveled north going the direct route is \(16\)
