An old principle of public landscaping says "build sidewalks last." In other words, let
the people find their chosen paths and then build the sidewalks on the paths. The
picture below shows a campus quadrangle that measures 40 meters by 30 meters.

The path between each building is an illustration of Pythagoras theorem.

  • The sidewalk between library and humanities is 21.21 meters
  • The sidewalk between chemistry and humanities is 29.15 meters
  • The sidewalk between chemistry and humanities is 36.06 meters

See attachment for a copy of the given image.

The sidewalk between library and humanities

This is represented with (a).

The value of (a) will be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

So, we have:

[tex]a^2 = 15^2 + 15^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2 = 450[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]a = 21.21[/tex]

Sidewalk between chemistry and library

This is represented with (d).

First calculate the value of (b) and (c)

[tex]c + 15 = 30[/tex]

So:

[tex]c = 15[/tex]

Also:

[tex]b + 15 = 40[/tex]

So:

[tex]b = 25[/tex]

The value of (d) will be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]d^2 = b^2 + c^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2 = 25^2 + 15^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2 = 850[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]d = 29.15[/tex]

The sidewalk between chemistry and humanities

This is represented with (e).

The value of (e) will be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]e^2 = d^2 + a^2[/tex]

[tex]e^2 = 850 + 450[/tex]

[tex]e^2 = 1300[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]e = 36.06[/tex]
