Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.
Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
There are three right triangles we can work with.
Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation
Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get
Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get
. That is, 
We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation:
and replace 
and 
using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.
That gives us:
which we solve for x as follows:
Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation
and solve for z as follows:
This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.

Answer:
The probability that the aircraft is overload = 0.9999
Yes , The pilot has to be take strict action .
Step-by-step explanation:
P.S - The exact question is -
Given - Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. Assume that weight of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.7 lb and a standard deviation of 39.6.
To find - What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded ?
Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft ?
Proof -
Given that,
Mean, μ = 182.7
Standard Deviation, σ = 39.6
Now,
Let X be the Weight of the men
Now,
Probability that the aircraft is loaded be
P(X > 168 ) = P( )
= P( z > )
= P( z > -0.371)
= 1 - P ( z ≤ -0.371 )
= 1 - P( z > 0.371)
= 1 - 0.00010363
= 0.9999
⇒P(X > 168) = 0.9999
As the probability of weight overload = 0.9999
So, The pilot has to be take strict action .
