An ant needs to travel along a 20cm × 20cm cube to get from point A to point B. What is the shortest path he can take, and how long will it be (in cm)? WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

The shortest path to take is or

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires an attachment (See attachment 1 for question)

Given

Cube Dimension: 20cm * 20cm

Required

Shortest path from A to B

For proper explanation, I'll support my answer with an additional attachment (See attachment 2)

The shortest path from A to B is Line labeled 2

But first, the length of line labeled 1 has to be calculated;

This is done as follows;

Since, the cube is 20 cm by 20 cm

(Pythagoras Theorem)

Take square root of both sides

Split square root

Next is to calculate the length of Line labeled 2

(Pythagoras Theorem)

Substitute

Expand the expression

Factorize

Take square root of both sides

Split square root

The answer can be left in this form of solve further as follows;

(Approximated)

Hence, the shortest path to take is or

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
