Answer:

Β  1 -(√2)/2 β‰ˆ 0.292893

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal length AC is √2, so the distance EC is √2 -1. That is the diagonal of the square whose side length is the length of interest. That side length will be (√2)/2 times the length of EC.

  shortest distance from E = (√2 -1)(√2)/2 = 1 -(√2)/2
