250 ft\: \: the \: nearest \: tenth.

Explanation:


d \: = \sqrt{(270 - 90) {}^(2) + (270 - 90) {}^(2) } = \\ 254.55844123 = 250 \: to \: the \: \\ nearest \: tenth.


where \: the \: first \: base \: hieght \: is \: 90ft, \\ and \: third \: base \: hieght \: is \: 270(i.e \: 3 * 90),\\ </p><p>so \: by \: using \: the \: above \: pythagorean \\ \: equation, \: the \: shortest \: distance, d \: is \: 250ft
