We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c² 
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

2 ± i

Step-by-step explanation:

by 5, I assume you mean +5

x² - 4x + 5 = 0

x = (-b±(√(b²-4ac)) / 2a

x = (4 ± (√(16 - 20)) / 2

x = (4 ± (√(-4)) / 2

√-4 = √4√-1 which is 2i

x = (4 ± 2i) / 2

x = 2 ± i
