The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)
4x+3y=12
3y=-4x+12
y=-4x/3+12/3
So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:
y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so
5=3(7)/4+b
5=21/4+b
20/4-21/4=b
-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:
y=3x/4-1/4
So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank.  When it does y=y so we can say:
(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3  cross multiply
3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)
9x-3=-16x+48
25x=51
x=51/25
x=2.04
y=(3x-1)/4
y=(3*2.04-1)/4
y=1.28
So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2
d^2=38.44
d=√38.44
d=6.2 units
Since he can run at 10 uph...
t=d/v
t=6.2/10
t=0.62 hours  (37 min 12 sec)
So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
        
             
        
        
        
To estimate the volume of the chord of wood, since the wood exists cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack then we can use a cylinder as a model.
<h3>What is a cylinder?</h3>
In mathematics, a cylinder exists as a three-dimensional solid that holds two parallel bases joined by a curved surface, at a fixed distance. These bases exist normally circular (like a circle) and the center of the two bases exists joined by a line segment, which exists named the axis.
A cylinder exists as a closed solid that contains two parallel circular bases joined by a curved surface.
