answer for 1st q.

If you draw a figure, you'll realise it's a right angled triangle with hypotenuse as 10.

So the other two sides have to be 8 and 6. Since the cafe is 2 miles closer to Dan’s house than to Karen’s house, the answer is 8.

So the option is C.


Your 2nd q has some data missing so wont be able to solve it bro.
