Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: Legyen a kör sugara 30+x méter. Az x, 60, 30+x oldalú derékszögű háromszögre felírva a Pitagorasz-tételt: x2+602=(x+30)2, ebből x=45 méter. Az összes megépítendő út hossza tehát: 10.75+6.60+150.\pi\approx1581,24 méter.
