A man starts from point ‘O’, travels 20 km towards east to reach point ‘A’, turns right and travels 10 km to reach point ‘B', turns right and travels 9 km to reach point ‘C’, turns right and travels 5 km to reach point ‘D’, turns left and travels 12 km to reach point ‘E’ and then turns right and travels 6 km to reach point ‘F. What is the shortest distance between point ‘E’ and point ‘C’?

To calculate shortest distance between E and C,

(EC)2 = (ED)2 + (DC)2 = (12)2 + (5)2 = 144 + 25 = 169

EC = √169 = 13.

So, the shortest distance between point ‘E’ and point ‘C is 13 km.
