The distance between the points (d) is found using the Pythagorean theorem.
Imagine the two points as defining the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the triangle are the horizontal distance between the points and the vertical distance between the points. The the theorem tells us
d² = 4² + 7²
d² = 16 + 49
d² = 65
d = √65 ≈ 8.1
The distance between the points is
C 8.1
_____
You know that the distance must be longer than the longest leg (7) and must be shorter than the sum of the two legs (4+7=11). The only answer choice between 7 and 11 is 8.1.

We are given ratio 456:8.
The given ratio can be written in fraction form as
In order to find the rate, we need to divide 456 by 8, because it would give the unit value.
When we divide 456 by 8, we first take multiple of 8 closer to the number 45.
8*6=48 but it's greater than 45, so we would take 8*5 =40.
Subtracting 40 from 45, we get 5.
Getting 6 down, we get 56. Take multiple of 8 upto 56.
8*7= 56.
56 -56=0.
So, on dividing 456 by 8 we got 57.
Therefore, rate is 57 per unit.
