Walls of two buildings on either side of a street are parallel to each other. A ladder 5.8m long is placed on the street such that its top just reaches the window of a building at the height of 4m. On turning the ladder over to the other side of the street, its top touches the window of the other building at a height 4.2m. Find the width of the street.
