Answer:

  • 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The line connecting the center with the end of the walkway is radius and is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Horizontal leg is the distance x.

<u>Vertical leg has the length:</u>

  • (250)/2 - 62 = 63 ft

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x:</u>

  • x² = (250/2)² - 63²
  • x² = 125² - 63²
  • x² = 11656
  • x = √11656
  • x = 107.96 ≈ 108
