Problem
The one-way routes connecting towns 
and 
are shown in the figure below(not drawn to scale).The distances in kilometers along each route are marked. Traveling along these routes, what is the shortest distance form A to Z in kilometers?
Solution 1
We can simply see that path 
will give us the smallest value. Adding, 
. This is nice as it’s also the smallest value, solidifying our answer.
