I can’t see the diagram you mention — could you upload it or type the three distances?
Meanwhile, the general true statement is this (triangle inequality):
- The distance from your house to the bank plus the distance from the bank to the farmer’s market is always greater than or equal to the straight-line distance from your house to the market.
HB + BM ≥ HM, with equality only if the bank lies exactly on the straight line between the house and the market.
If you give the three labeled distances from the diagram I’ll say which specific comparison holds.
