Answer 1

Is this D?

Answer 2

Am I right?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

Are you sure?

Answer 5

More sure than you haha :)

Answer 6

Alright, Lol.

Answer 7

If you look at the answer choices, D is the only one that's large enough.

We know the distance from the library to the mall is 20
The distance from the school to the library is 20ish
The distance from the school the the library (the hypotenuse) is going to be \(20\sqrt{2}\)ish

And adding that all up will only get you a number as large as answer choice D

Answer 8

Makes sense. Thank you.
