If laying the distribution lines cost twice as much under water as it does on land,, what path should the distribution linees follow in order to minimize the cost?

Explanation:

Normally, running underground distribution line is expensive to run and also to maintain(repair) though running it underground makes it last longer by keeping it safe away from things like ice.

Just like it is given in the Question/problem above that "laying the distribution lines cost twice as much under water as it does on land". It can be observed that the cost of taking the distribution line under water is higher than it does on the land. So, in order to minimize cost the following should be done;

=> Major part of the distribution line should be done on the land and drawn along the side of the water body. The minor part of the distribution line can then go down(under the water).

answer; /// i believe the correct answer to the above question is(200 pounds); /good luck

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
