Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A \sqrt{10} 10 ​ square root of, 10, end square root (Choice B) B \sqrt{29} 29 ​ square root of, 29, end square root (Choice C) C 888 (Choice D) D 99

Answer 1

Answer: square root of 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Distance between (4, 7) and (2, 2)

Distance between two points is given by:

Distance = sqrt[(X2 - X1)² + (Y2 - Y1)²]

X1 = 4 ; Y1 = 7 ; X2 = 2 ; Y2 = 2

Distance = sqrt[(2 - 4)² + (2 - 7)²]

Distance = sqrt[(-2² + - 5²)]

= sqrt(4 + 25)

= sqrt(29)
