Application of pythagoras theorem > A cathedral spire $200$ ft high is $250$ ft away from a church steple which is $150$ ft high. At the same instant, two crows, one from each, fly of at the same speed heading toward some grain that is on a level, straight road connecting two towers. The crows reach the grain at the same instant. How far along that road is the grain from the cathedral?

**Hint:** To each triangle you can apply Pythagoras, and then you can go ahead and solve for $x$ and $y$.
