Observe the motion of a car as shown in the figure and answer the following questions:Compare the distance covered by the car through the path ABC and AC. What do you observe? Which path gives the shortest distance to reach D from A? Is it the path ABCD or the path ACD or the path AD?

Answer»

1. AB + BC 

ABC = 4m + 3m=7m 

AC = 5 m 

2. AB + BC + CD

ABCD = 4m + 3m + 4m = 11m 

ACD = AC + CD = 5m + 4m = 9m 

AD = 3 m 

The shortest distance to reach D from A will be AD, that is 3 m.
