1

What is the shortest distance between the starting point X and point V?

Solution & Explanation Coordinates (East=+X, North=+Y): X(0,0) → 6 km East → Y(6,0). At Y turn left (now North): 8 km → Z(6,8). At Z turn left (now West): 6 km → W(0,8). At W turn left (now South): 3 km → V(0,5). X=(0,0), V=(0,5). Distance = √[(0−0)²+(5−0)²] = √25 = 5 km. Answer: C.
