CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The bus stand is 8 km east and 6 km north of the school.

  2. Distance =82+62=10= \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = 10 km.

Worth noting

The park is extra information: it is 8 km from the bus stand, which is not what is asked. 14 km is the road distance through the bank.
