Question

J, K, L, M, N, O, P and R are eight huts. Further, L is 2 km east of K. J is 1 km north of K and Q is 2 km south of J. P is 1 km west of Q while M is 3 km east of P. O is 2 km north of P. R is situated right in the middle of K and L while N is just in the middle of Q and M. Determine the distance between K and P :

• A. 1.00 km
• B. 1.50 km
• C. 1.41 km
• D. 1.67 km
• E. 1.23 km

Hint:

For map-based distance problems, assign coordinates with a known point as origin. Use the distance formula $d = \sqrt{(\Delta x)^2 + (\Delta y)^2}$ for the final answer.
