60² + 30² = 4500²
Opposite corner = 67.08 ft.

2.
6² + 8² = 100²
The wire must be 10 ft.

I'm not too sure about question 3.
-- The trains start moving at the same time.
-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.
-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.
-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.
That's 40min 3.49sec .
-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other. We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
