Let the distance between the center of the base and the northwest corner of the base be  y m

Distance between the center of the base and the west side of the base  =  3/2 m  =  1.5 m

Distance between the center of the base and the north side of the base  =  1.5/2 m  =  0.75 m

 

 

By the Pythagorean Theorem,

 

(1.5)2+(0.75)2 = y2 (32)2+(34)2 = y2 94+916 = y2 4516 = y2 y2 = 4516

 

Again by the Pythagorean Theorem,

 

y2+22 = x2 4516+4 = x2 10916 = x2 x = 10916 x = 1094___
