Let CDEF be the reservoir (Fig. 14c) of which DE=CF=12 and CD=FE=6, suppose C=east-north corner, and F=west-north corner. At first the fish was at C and the crane at F. Then out of fear the fish swims along CO and the crane moving along FE and EO, kills the fish at O. Then CO = FE + EO = EB + EO (EB is drawn equal to FE).
