PYQPulse · Answer

Explanation: According to the given statements we will get the following diagram. Here, we have to find the shortest distance between A and G. By using Pythagoras Theorem: AG² = AX² + GX²; AG² = 5² + (3 + 9)²; AG² = 25 + 144 = 169; AG = √169 = 13. Hence, the shortest distance between person A and person G is 13 metres.
