Question

Find the shortest distance from A to B in the diagram below. A. 505‾‾‾‾√ m B. 17 m C. 329‾‾‾√ m D. 10 m

Answer 1

The shortest distance from A to B in the diagram is 17 m.

How to find the shortest distance?

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
