how do I use the Pythagorean triples to solve this question?

So if a golfer makes a ten foot putt from point C into the hole (at point D), then how far did the ball travel en route from A to B to C to D? I also have use a scale of 1 unit= 10 feet. (diagram in comments) The triples I'm supposed to use are 3 4 5, 5 12 13, and 8 15 17
