Find the shortest distance from A to B in the diagram below. A. 505‾‾‾‾√ m B. 17 m C. 329‾‾‾√ m D. 10 m
1 answer:
The shortest distance from A to B in the diagram is 17 m.
<h3>How to find the shortest distance?</h3>The shortest distance from D to B can be found as follows:
using Pythagoras theorem,
c² = a² + b²
where
- c is the hypotenuse
- a and b are the other legs
Therefore,
DB² = 15² + 8²
DB² = 225 + 64
DB² = 289
DB = √289
DB = 17 m

This is an isosceles triangle. The angles at the base are congruent (they have the same measures).
Look at the picture.
We know: The sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is equal 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
<em>combine like terms</em>
<em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 7</em>
