Correct Answer: 7.2 km
Solution : According to the instructions given, the diagram is as follows –
Here, A is the starting point and F is the finishing point and AF is the total distance from the starting point.
AB = 2 km; BC = 6 km; CD = BE = 2km; DF = 12 km; DE = EF = 6 km And, AE = AB + BE = 2 + 2 = 4 km
By applying the Pythagoras theorem – (AF) 2 = (AE) 2 + (EF) 2 (AF) 2 = (4) 2 + (6) 2 = 16 + 36 = 52 ⇒ AF = √52 = 7.2 km
So, the total distance from the starting point is 7.2 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
