    What is the shortest distance between point U and point Q?

    A 15m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 17m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As Point S is exactly in between point Q and point U it means distance between US and SQ will be same. US = PT = 6 m. Shortest distance between point U and point Q = 6 + 6 = 12 m.
