i guess it fairly simple and straight fwd use of distance formula and intercept
JK = 5
LM = 11
KL =using distance formula 10
JM = using distance formula 8
Sum of all is 34
JK = 5
LM = 11
KL =using distance formula 10
JM = using distance formula 8

Is there any shortcut to these type of questions than just calculating distance between two points and then adding all of them, that seems bit of time killer for me. But if we dont have any alternative we have to follow the approach.
