The statement of the problem says we are going to be told how the distance is calculated; but the information only gives data -- it does NOT tell us how to calculate the distance. And the definition of what distance it is we are talking about is not clear.

Also, one of the pieces of data is given approximately, making it impossible to do an exact calculation.

The language in the post might be familiar to you; but it is not common terminology....

When you want help with a problem, take the time to post it so we know what the problem is.......
