Answer: 19.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem,

$x^2 +(x+6)^2 =48^2\\\\x^2 +x^2 +12x+36=2304\\\\2x^2 +12x-2268=0\\\\x^2 +6x-1134=0\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 -4(1)(-1134)}}{2(1)}\\\\x \approx 30.8 \text{ } (x > 0)\\\\\implies x+(x+6) \approx 67.6\\\\\therefore (x+(x+6))-48 \approx 19.6$

10book=30mins
divide 10
1book=3mins

time=(time to read 1 book) times (number of books)
time to read 1 book=3 mins
15 books
15 books=15 times 3mins
15books=45mins
