Can someone please explain how the answer is D

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kitty [74]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the length of ST is calculated using pythagorean theorem:

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

Where the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. In this case, the hypotenuse is ST and the other two sides are distances between S and T over the X and Y axis. Those are easily calculated:

x =  |sx - tx|  \\ y =  |sy - ty|

Where x is the distance between S and T over X axis and Y distance over Y axis, sx and tx are X coordinates of S and T, sy and ty are Y coordinates of S and T.

Using that formula, you get that y = 17 and x = 8.

Back to the pythagorean theorem, if we put those number in the formula of the pythagorean theorem, we get something like this:

{c}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} \\  {c}^{2}  =  {8}^{2}  +  {17}^{2} = 64 + 289  \\  {c}^{2}  = 353 \\ c =  \sqrt{353}

And finally, the correct answer is in fact 353.
