To determine the distance between two points on opposite sides of a pond, a surveyor locates two stakes at those two points and uses instrumentation to place a third stake so that the distance across the pond is the length of a hypotenuse. If the third stake is 90 m from one stake and 70 m from the other, how wide is the 24. Distance Over Water. pond?
