<h3>Answer: 13 units</h3>

===========================================

Work Shown:

The two given points are $(x_1,y_1) = (4,3)$ and $(x_2,y_2) = (16,8)$

Use the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(4-16)^2+(3-8)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-12)^2+(-5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{144+25}\\\\d = \sqrt{169}\\\\d = 13\\\\$

Since you did not provide a diagram, I made one for easier reference. You are asking what kind of triangle is the one shaded in red. Since a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, their diagonals are also equal. When two diagonals intersect each other, they make 4 congruent sides. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, since it has two equal sides ST and TR.
