[...] Application of Thales' Theorem - Calculation of a running distance (Brevet level) Lines and are perpendicular to the same line (AE). They are therefore parallel to each other. We know that lines and intersect at C and that lines and are parallel. Let's apply Thales' Theorem: We obtain: The length of the ABCDE course is 3080 meters. [...]
