Answer 6

I must apologize to you, while working the problem you said your answer was 52 sqrt2, and I told you it was wrong. My reasoning for stating that was because my calculator had displayed 73.5, I did not take into account however that more modern calculators will actually display a sqrt in the answer and it was not until later, when playing with a newer calculator, that I noticed this.
73.5 is the rationalized value of 52 sqrt2, I hope my oversight did not cost you any points.
