Correct Answer: 33.5 m
Solution : According to the instructions given, the diagram is as follows –
Now, we have to find the distance between C and I.
Here, S is the starting point and C is the finishing point.
SI = 40m; IB = 15m; BC = 30m By applying the Pythagorean theorem – (CI) 2 = (IB) 2 + (BC) 2 (CI) 2 = (15) 2 + (30) 2 = 225 + 900 = 1125 ⇒ CI = $\sqrt1125$ = 33.5m
So, the approximate shortest distance between the ice cream parlour and the central park is 33.5m. Hence, the second option is correct.
