Mapping out routes
I’m analyzing the distances between buildings A, B, and C to determine which route is longer and where the extra distance is.
Piecing together positions
I'm thinking through the layout of buildings A, B, and C, noting that P connects linearly with A, B, and C, forming a straight line.
Charting routes
I'm mapping out two routes: one from P to A to C to B, and another from P to C to A to B, to determine which is longer based on respective distances.
Evaluating route lengths
I'm figuring out which route is longer by comparing distances. Route 2 is longer by y, the distance from P to B, as Route 1 is longer by x.
Mapping the longer route
I'm noting that the longer route involves traveling from P to C, then backtracking to A, unlike the shorter direct route from P to A.
Comparing route lengths
It's interesting to see that the longer route includes an extra distance of y, which is the distance from P to B, contrasting with the shorter direct route.
Evaluating route length
Interestingly enough, the longer route traverses P to C, then C to A, and finally A to B, extending the journey by the distance from P to B.
