I'm in high level math, but this little easy problem I came across I can't get!
Here it is (don't laugh):
The below shows the route of Diane's trip from her house to her job. Diane travels 16 miles from A to B, 15 miles from B to C, and 4 miles from C to D. If she were able to travel from A to D directly, how much shorter, in miles, would the trip be?
The figure is something like this (Ignore the dots I couldn't get it to work outherwise):
.........4
........C-------D
........|
........|
........|15
........|
........|
....A----------------B
......16
A quick explanation should do. I'm just having a mental block and its frusterating. The answer is 10 by the way.
