Question

Constructing a Highway A highway whose primary
directions are north–south is being constructed along
the west coast of Florida. Near Naples, a bay obstructs
the straight path of the road. Since the cost of a bridge is
prohibitive, engineers decide to go around the bay. The
illustration shows the path that they decide on and the
measurements taken. What is the length of highway needed
to go around the bay?
