Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.

Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

There are three right triangles we can work with.

Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation x^{2} + 48^{2} = z^{2}

Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get 27^{2} + x^{2} = y^{2}

Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get y^{2} + z^{2} = (27+48)^{2}. That is, y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation: y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625 and replace z^{2} and y^{2} using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.

That gives us: 48^{2} + x^{2} + x^{2} + 27^{2} =5625 which we solve for x as follows:

2 x^{2} + 3033 =5625
2x^{2}  =2592
 x^{2} =1296
x=36

Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation 48^{2} + x^{2} = z^{2} and solve for z as follows:
48^{2} + 36^{2} = z^{2} 
2304+1296=z^{2} 
3600=z^{2} 
z=60

This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.

Answer: A: 36 and B: 60

To find the distance from the beach to the parking lot, use the formula:
x^2 = 27(48)
x^2 = 1296
x = 36

To find the distance from the parking lot to the refreshment stand, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
36^2 + 48^2 = x^2
3600 = x^2
60 = x
