Question Gopal needs to carry water from the river to his water tank. He starts from his house. What is the shortest path he can take from his house to the river and then to the water tank? Roughly recreate the map in your notebook and trace the shortest path.
Let P be the point on the bank of the river, then the shortest path from H to P to T is created by the point P such that ∆HPT has minimum area. Shortest path House (H) → P (Point on river) → Water tank Area of a Polygon Figure It Out (Page 160)
