Using the Pythagorean theorem find  the length of Mountain Highway.

25^2 + x^2 = 65^2

625 + x^2 = 4225

x^2 = 4225 - 625

x^2 = 3600

x = √3600

x = 60 miles.

The total distance for Mountain highway and Oak road = 60 + 25 = 85 miles.

Airport road is shorter by 85 - 65 = 20 miles

The answer is A.
