Answer:
I usually explain even in the answer.
So we use something called distance formula which is branched of Pythagorean theorem.
But we dont need to as it just makes it more complicated. We need to find split into 2 vectors, one vertical, and horizontal. The horizontal is 5 long.
The vertical is 1, you can find them by calculating how long is it and how tall.
Use pythogorean theorem from the formula and do 5^2+1^2 = c^2
25+1 = 26, so the answer is √26
I am pretty sure answer is right. Always take abolute value
<u>√26</u>
