A person has to leave a person A, located on the right bank, on the left bank of a river and pick up another person B from the left bank and pass him to the right. Due to the effects of the current, the rafter decides to go diagonally; If person B has to disembark 18 m from where the raft leaves and the raft is initially in front of him, how far must B walk at least so that the boat trip is the shortest possible, knowing that the distance between the shores is 12 m at all points. a. 12 m b. 9 m c. 3m d. 10 m
