Answer:
10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length we can use the formula
d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)
We have the two points (-5,5) and (3,-1)
d = sqrt( (-1-5)^2 + (3--5)^2)
d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (3+5)^2)
d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (8)^2)
d = sqrt( 36 + 64)
d = sqrt(100)
d = 10
Arithmetic
-3-2=5
because
-3-2
=
-3 + -2
3 negatives + 2 negatives = 5 negatives

Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
I believe you cant fix one rather you need a new one. It runs about 300 plus labor
