Question

A shop is at S, and three buildings are at points A, B, and C. Find the building that is the farthest from the shop.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. All buildings are at equal distances from S.

Answer 1

The correct option is B B


To find the distance of each building from the shop, we calculate the distance between the given points.


So, the distance between the shop and the building at A is 7 grids.


So, the distance between the shop and the building at B is 6 + 7 = 13 grids.


So, the distance between the shop and the building at C is 5 + 4 = 9 grids.

Among all the values, 13 is the highest.

∴The building at B is the farthest from the shop at S.
