If Donna is more than 50 meters from the entrance, the connection between the radios breaks. What is the range of communication for the two radios to the nearest meter?

Answer:Lyra is 22 meters above the entrance.

The radios work until Donna is 50 meters away from the entrance.

At that moment, Lyra, Donna, and the entrance form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the actual distance between Lyra and Donna.

Distance = √ (22² + 50²)

= √ (484 m² + 2,500 m²)

= √ (2984 m²)

= 54.63 meters.

Rounded to the nearest meter, Distance = 55 meters.

THAT's the maximum point-to-point range of the radios.
