Answer:

\sqrt{85}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 2)

d = \sqrt{(6+1)^2+(-2-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{7^2+(-6)^2}

  = \sqrt{49+36}

  = \sqrt{85} ← exact distance

You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.

Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.

This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.

Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.

By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
