Highway 41 goes around Pelican Bay in Florida. There are two degree measure, one on either side of the Bay. One reads 140 degrees and the other 135 degrees. Both degree measurements are 2 miles apart.
I will try to draw it below. The question is: What is the length of highway needed to go around the bay?
Note:
A to B = 2 miles
a to b = 1/8 mile
c to d = 1/8 mile
a to d = part of highway 41
This is my best try at drawing a triangle using a keyboard.
