You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two legs of a right triangle are 600 and 175.
They took the hypotenuse
The sum of the squares of 600 and 175 is 390625
the square root of that is 625 m. (7-24-25 right triangle)
The distance with the shortcut was 625 m
The distance the other way was 775 m
The total distance is the sum or 1400 m
