127.3 feet using the Pythagoras theorem

[tex]250 ft\: \: the \: nearest \: tenth.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]d \: = \sqrt{(270 - 90) {}^{2} + (270 - 90) {}^{2} } = \\ 254.55844123 = 250 \: to \: the \: \\ nearest \: tenth.[/tex]

[tex]where \: the \: first \: base \: hieght \: is \: 90ft, \\ and \: third \: base \: hieght \: is \: 270(i.e \: 3 \times 90),\\

so \: by \: using \: the \: above \: pythagorean \\ \: equation, \: the \: shortest \: distance, d \: is \: 250ft[/tex]
