Given any 2 point P(m,n) and Q(k,l),<span>
the coordinates of the midpoint of the line
segment PQ are given by the formula:
, </span>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thus the coordinates of points
are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and
Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:<span>
</span>

thus the distances connecting the opposite entrances can be calculated as follows:
Thus the total distance of the paths joining the opposite entrances is
5+5.39 units = 50 m + 53.9 m = 104 m (rounded to the nearest meter)
Answer: 104 m
