Thinking of the path being two sides of an Equilateral Triangle(25 a side) would work:
\n" ); document.write( "

.
\n" ); document.write( "Altitude is 12.5 √3
\n" ); document.write( "Walking to p(25,0) either taking top or bottom path
\n" ); document.write( "Walking towards P(12.5, 12.5 √3) first or P(12.5 ,-12.5 √3)first
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
