Darleene and Borris both live on the lake. To get to Boris's house by land, Darlene has to take Mountain View Road 2 miles south and then take Lakeshore Drive 3 miles east. Boris called Darlene and suggested they go watch a soccer game at the end of the School Road. To get to the end of School Road, Boris simply needs to kayak due north across the lake. If Darlene kayaks directly from her house to the end of School Road, it turns out to be exactly the same distance that Boris has to go. How far is it from Boris's house to the end of School Road?
Please Help!!
*Thanks*

As stated, we can't answer because the distance Borris travels due north is unknown. Darleene can, but does not have to, travel due east. Lakes are roundish and it is unknown if the roads are straight or they could follow the edge of the lake. Also the shapes of lakes are irregular.
