please help, An island in need of electricity is 5 miles north from the nearest point on a straight

shoreline. Eight miles from that point, next to the shore, is the nearest power station.

A utility company plans to lay electric cables underwater from the island to the shore

and then underground along the shore to the power station to get electricity to the

island. Assume it costs $2500 per mile to lay underwater cable and $1200 per mile to

lay underground cable.
