You can put this solution on YOUR website! An L- shaped sidewalk from the parking lot to a memorial is as follows:
The distance directly across the grass to the memorial is 650 ft.
The distance to the corner of the "L" is 600 feet.
Find the distance from the corner of the "L" to the memorial.
:
This a pythag type problem; a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where
a = 600
c = 650
Find b
:
;
360000 + b^2 = 422500
:
b^2 = 422500 - 360000
:
b^2 = 62500
:
b =
:
b = 250 ft
