Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 it's 125 for the radius and also 125-62 = 63

so 125+63 = 188

188 * 62 = X^2

11656 = X^2

107.96 = x

108.0  = x  ( to the nearest tenth )

The perpendicular distance x from the end of the passage to either side of the mound is : 107.93 feets

Diameter = 250

To obtain the perpendicular distance, x :

We use the relation : x × x = Length to either side of mound :

Mathematically ;

x × x = 62 ft × (250 - 62)

x² = 62 × 188

x² = 11656 ft²

Take the square root of both sides ;

x = √11656

x = 107.9629 ft

Hence, the perpendicular distance x from the end of the passage to either side of the mound is : 107.93 feets
