Question

If you start at vertex A and use the "shortest route" algorithm, what would be the second path to

be selected/highlighted?

Answer 1

Shortest distance=|AC|/
`\sqrt[2]{2}`.

Kindly find the attached for the figure

Explanation:

This problem can be addressed using right-angled,

Let have right angle triangle with the shortest distance=hypotenuse;

hypotenuse=|AC|

using pythagoras theorem, we have

|AC|^2=|AB|^2+|BC|^2

Let |AB|=|BC|

|AC|^2=2|AB|^2

|AB|=|AC|/
`\sqrt[2]{2}`

Shortest distance=|AC|/
`\sqrt[2]{2}`
