cant understand the soln clearly

Question:
ABCD is a square and each side is of 4cm. A point P is on AD; find the minimum possible length of BP and CP together (in cm).
Options:
A) 4\(\sqrt[]{5}\)
B) \(5\sqrt[]{5}\)
C) \(6\sqrt[]{3}\)
D) \(4\sqrt[]{4}\)
Solution:


For minimum value of BP and CP, 

x=y

It is possible only when AP = PD=2 

∴ x=y =\(\sqrt[]{4^2+2^2}\)  = 2√5

∴ (BP+CP)min=2√5 +2√5=4√5

Dear student
APB and CPD are right angled triangle,
so by using Pythagoras theorem we will
find out PB and PC.
