Answer 1

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The shortest distance between junction A and market is 4√10 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The path of Meera is  shown in the attached figure

From the figure we can see that the shortest distance between the market M and junction A is MA

by Pythagoras theorem

$MA=\sqrt{(10-6)^2+(8+4)^2}$

$\implies MA=\sqrt{4^2+12^2}$

$\implies MA=\sqrt{16+144}$

$\implies MA=\sqrt{160}$

$\implies MA=4\sqrt{10}$ km

Hope this answer is helpful.
