Swim Short
Short Swim Math Problem…?

…A two mile pier and a one nile pier extend perpendicularly into the ocean with four miles of shore between the two piers. A swimmer wishes to swim from the end of the longer pier to the end of the shorter pier with one rest stop on the beach. What is the shortest possible swim?

The above answer is close, but he forgot to take square root of the answers.

I got 4.69 miles. That is by using A^2 + B^2=C^2. Make two triangles. One is from long pier to half way down the shore and the other is from half way down shore to short pier. Find and add the hypotenuses.

If indeed it is a riddle, you don’t have to swim. You could walk from the end of the long pier to the shore, then to the short pier, then down the pier.
