Question

    Point D is 12m to the west of point E. G is 8m to the

    east of I. H is 9m south of I. F is 12m to the east of H. H is the midpoint of E and I. Find the shortest distance between F and E.
    A 15m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Shortest distance between F and E = FE² = EH² + HF²        FE² = 9² + 12²        FE² = 81 + 144        FE² = 225         FE = 15m
