From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of roads to provide information to road users.

The 5km is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We want to find the short, vertical side of the triangle. Call that side x. The long, horizontal side of the triangle is x/.12. Thus 5^2 = x^2 + (x/.12)^2 25 = x^2 + (x^2/.0144) 25 = (.0144x^2/.0144) + (x^2/.0144) 25 = 1.0144x^2/.0144 x^2 = 25 * .0144 / 1.0144 x = 0.595726103 km = 595.7 metres The horizontal side of the triangle is 4.96 km.
