Which expression gives the distance between the points (2,5) and (-4, 8)? A. (2+4)2 +(5-8)2
B. (2-4)2 +(5-8)
C. /(2+4)2 + (5 - 8)2
D. (2-4)2 +(5-8)

A. (2+4)² +(5-8)²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find then distance between two points, we will follow the steps below;

write down the formula

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

(-4, 8)

x₁=-4

y₁ = 8

(2,5)

x₂=2

y₂=5

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

   = √(2+4)²+(5-8)²

    =√(6)² + (-3)²

   =√36+9

   =√45

Therefore the expression which gives the distance between two the two points is  (2+4)² +(5-8)²

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

well what did you do it matters what you did : )
