Since Jerry is a right angle, then we have a scalene triangle where the base is 30 feet and the height is 40 feet.
To find the distance from bob to allen we have to find the hypotenuse of the triangle
By Pythagorean theorem
d = root ((30) ^ 2 + (40) ^ 2) = 50
the distance from bob to allen is 50 feet
