181.--THE THREE RAILWAY STATIONS.

The three stations form a triangle, with sides 13, 14, and 15 miles.

Make the 14 side the base; then the height of the triangle is 12 and the

area 84. Multiply the three sides together and divide by four times the

area. The result is eight miles and one-eighth, the distance required.
