problem

For each positive integer nn, there is a circle around the origin with radius nn. Rainbow Dash starts off somewhere on the plane, but not on a circle. She takes off in some direction in a straight path. She moves \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}unitsbeforecrossingacircle,then5 units before crossing a circle, then \sqrt{5} units, then \frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}$ units. What distance will she travel before she crosses another circle?

Original LaTeX notation
For each positive integer $n$, there is a circle around the origin with radius $n$. Rainbow Dash starts off somewhere on the plane, but not on a circle. She takes off in some direction in a straight path. She moves \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$ units before crossing a circle, then \sqrt{5}$ units, then \frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}$ units. What distance will she travel before she crosses another circle?
