Problem 15

A pyramid has a base which is an equilateral triangle with side length 300 centimeters. The vertex of the pyramid is 100 centimeters above the center of the triangular base. A mouse starts at a corner of the base of the pyramid and walks up the edge of the pyramid toward the vertex at the top.
