Answer:
About 60.77 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached pic.
Blue line is of Bethany
Green line is of Ben
Red line is the distance between them [what we are trying to find]
We can use pythagorean theorem that tells us:
Where c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle [red lines in both respective triangles]
and
a, b are the two other sides of the triangle
Left Triangle (using pythagorean theorem):
Base is 30
Left side is 20 - 10 = 10
So,
Right Triangle (using pythagorean theorem):
Distance between Bethany and Ben = 31.62 + 29.15 = 60.77 feet
