    Diagram is
    NOT to scale

    2 km

    H P Q

    4 km

    She rides along a path from her home to point P at a constant speed of 10 kilometres per hour.
    At point P, Megan cuts across a park, heading directly to school. When cycling across the park,
    Megan can only cycle at 6 kilometres per hour.
