Answer:

Given that the hall is rectangular in shape, then the shortest path that Amy must travel to reach Alice would be through the hall's diagonal. Applying the Pythagorean theorem, with the length and width as the legs and the diagonal as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Thus, diagonal = √ ( 100² + 60²) = √13 600 ≈ 116.62 ft The shortest distance, rounded off to the nearest foot, is 117 ft.
