Question 1158196: Peyton’s workout today is to run repeatedly up a steep grassy slope, represented by ADFC in the diagram. The workout loop is AGCA, in which AG requires exertion and GCA is for recovery. Point G was chosen on the ridge CF to make the slope of the climb equal 1/5. Given that ADEB and BEFC are rectangles, ABC is a right angle, AD = 240, DE = 150, and EF = 50, find the distance from point G to point C.
