Please help!!! I would like an explanation along with your answer. Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

11.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The two furthest corners of the bed are at (8, 6) and (5, 10).  To determine which is the furthest from the origin, use the distance formula.

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)

d = √((8 − 0)² + (6 − 0)²)

d = 10

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)

d = √((5 − 0)² + (10 − 0)²)

d = 5√5

d ≈ 11.2

Therefore, the corner at (5, 10) is the furthest from the origin, about 11.2 feet away.
