    A square patch of grass, 100 m on a side is surrounded by a paved road along its boundary. Most people want to get from corner AA of the square to the midpoint FF of an opposite side. They walk along the path ABF , but some of them have started a path through the grassy area. They walk along the side ABAB for a while, then they are heading towards FF along a straight line through the grass, as shown in the diagram. Thus they walk 25% less compared to the path along the border. How far is the turning point KK of the path from the point AA?
