Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions – Now, we have to find the distance between starting and endpoints.
In the given figure, A is the starting point and E is the finishing point. So, AE is the distance from the starting point. Here, DE = 3 km, AB = CD = 6 km and AD = BC = 9 km Now, AE = AD – DE AE = 9 – 3 AE = 6 km
So, the distance from the starting point to the endpoint is 6 km. Hence, the second option is correct.
