Question

Someone please help me answer this correctly

Answer 1

Answer:

13 units is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

points (8,-4) and (3,8)

We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\d= \sqrt{(3-8)^2 + (8-(-4))^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (12)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{25 + 144} \\\\d=\sqrt{169} \\\\d=13$

∴ distance between 2 points (8,-4) and (3,8) = 13 units.
