Question

Find the shortest distance from A to B in the diagram below.

Answer 1

Answer: 14 m

Explanation:

8 m + 6 m = 14 m

Answer 2

10 cm.

Explanation:

We have been given a cuboid. We are asked to find the shortest distance from A to B is the given diagram.

We know that shortest distance from A to B will be equal to hypotenuse of right triangle with two legs 8 meters and 6 meters.

`AB^2=8^2+6^2`

`AB^2=64+36`

`AB^2=100`

Now, we will take square root of both sides of our given equation as:

`AB=√(100)`

`AB=10`

Therefore, the shortest distance from A to B is 10 cm.
