Answer 1

Answer:

the smallest distance between two points is a straight line. therefore a right angle triangle is made from the given information. angle ABC = 90°, AB = 60m, BC=25m, the length which we have to find is AC.

therefore, $AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}$

AC² = (60)² + (25)²

AC²= 3600+ 625

AC² = 4225

AC=√4225

AC = 65m
