Suppose typhoon X is in the country and is predicted to have 350 km radius. Further, it was reported that town A located 260 km south and 255 km west from its eye is at the circumference of the typhoon. Is the news true?

Check the equality::
sqrt[250^2 + 255^2] = 350
364.18 = 350
-----
The news is not true but close enough.
