Best answer

The squirrel is in A and the grains are at E

The ways are 

(i) A → B → C → D → E

(ii) A → G → F → K → E

(iii) A → H → I → J → E

Distance

(i) AB + BC + CD + DE = 2 cm + 2.5 cm + 2.5 cm + 2 cm = 9 cm

(ii) AG + GF + FK + KE = (2.6 + 1.7 + 1.8 + 3) cm = 9.1 cm

(iii) AH + HI + IJ + JE = 3 cm + 2.3 cm + 1 cm + 3.2 cm = 9.5 cm.

1st way ABCDE is the shortest one.
