Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe path followed by Rashmi is :
Using Pythagoras theorem to get the shortest distance :
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2
Shortest distance between college and pastry shop = √((35)2 + (15)2)
= √(1225 + 225)
= √(1450)
= 38.07 m ≈ 38 m
Shortest distance between house and pastry shop = √((35)2 + (15)2)
= √(1225 + 225)
= √(1450)
= 38.07 m ≈ 38 m
Shortest distance between college and house via pastry shop = 38 + 38 = 76 m
Hence, 76 m is the correct answer.
