Solution: To make the lengths of both triangles the same.We tried to used pythagoras theorem. 2^2+b^2=c^23^2+e^2=c^2However, no mater what we tried, we could not get the hypothenuse to be the same. Now that we have learnt trigonometry, we have to revisit the question.Assumptions: All the roads are straight.
