Question

...never got help so im reposting

Answer 1

You have to work out weather path ABC or ADC is shorter.

path ABC = AB + BC
path ADC= AD + DC

you can use Pythagorus's theorem to calculate
AB and (DC)

Answer 2

yeah i know
im getting sqrt(40) for A to B
and
6 for B to C

Answer 3

B is the correct answer but i can't get the exact distance from A to B and then from B to C

Answer 4

@UnkleRhaukus you there?

Answer 5

sorry i got distracted,
you've got AB right and
you've got BC right too

Answer 6

how would i put the answer in a website? i think thats what im doing wrong.

Answer 7

@satellite73 can you assist me here too please

Answer 8

you want the total distance right? do you know the shortest rout?

Answer 9

yes / B is the shortest

Answer 10

from A to B is \(\sqrt{2^2+6^2}=\sqrt{40}\) and from B to C is 6

Answer 11

ok. how would i put that in on a hw website?

Answer 12

so that distance total is\[6+\sqrt{40}\]

Answer 13

i have no idea
