Question 1190189: Let the square PQRS be a field of sides 40m and 30m with a pole point X. William wants to make a shortcut from point S to point Q passing the pole, in which SX:XQ = 16:9 and RX = 24m. If he walks along the path and stops at the nearest spot to point R, show that the spot where she stops is the same spot as point X
