Answer to Problem 16PSC

The minimum distance from H to J to K is 28.3.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The points is,

  H=(10,2)K=(18,17)

Calculation:

According to the given question the slope of HK and HJ are equal. So,

  1721410=y22108y16=40y=7

Calculate the distance JH.

  JH=(72)2+(210)2=89

Calculate the distance JK.

  JK=(182)2+(177)2=356

Thus, the minimum distance from H to J to K is 28.3.
