Two radio towers have been positioned 8 miles apart at points A and B. Point D is located exactly 4 miles from point A. A third tower will be placed at point C so that all three towers are equidistant from each other. What should be the distance from the third tower to point D? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.
