Point L is 15 m south of point M. Point N is 13 m west of point L. Point Q is 6 m east of point M. Point R is exactly between point M and point Q. Point O is 9 m north of point N. Point S is 6 m south of point R. Point T is 7 m east of point S. Point U is 11 m south of point T.
What is the shortest distance between point S and point L?
- A.
√90 m
- B.
√91 m
- C.
8 m
- D.
12 m
- E.
9 m
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Using the given point map, L = (0, -15) and S = (3, -6).
The horizontal difference is 3 m and the vertical difference is 9 m.
Shortest distance = sqrt(3^2 + 9^2) = sqrt(90) m.
