The picture below shows the location of Tim, Kathy, Joe, and Brenda’s houses near a community hall. The shaded triangle has an area of 600 square feet. The road connecting Tim and Brenda’s houses is bisected by the road connecting Joe and Kathy’s houses, as shown below.

Two parallel lines are shown. Two cross lines are intersecting the two parallel lines. A community hall is shown at the point where the cross lines bisect each other. The triangle on the left is shaded. The altitude of the triangle which is not shaded is 20 feet.

What is the length of the road between Joe and Brenda’s ho
