Option 1: 5 km
Option 2: 9 km
Option 3: 10 km
Option 4: 4 km
Correct Answer: 5 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we have to find the shortest distance between home (A) to office (E).
The shortest distance between E to A by using Pythagoras' theorem – EA 2 = DE 2 + DA 2 EA 2 = 4 2 + 3 2 EA 2 = 16 + 9 EA = 5
Therefore, the shortest distance between home to office is 5 km. Hence, the first option is correct.
