Answer:

17 units apart

Step-by-step explanation:

think of this layout as being a triangle.  The verticacl side is 15 and then horizontal one iw 8.  The length of the hypotenuse is the desired distance and is found using the Pythagorean Theorem:

d = sqrt(15² + 8²) =   √(225 + 64) = √289 = 17

Norwood and Belleville are 17 units apart.
