What is the approximate distance between the points (–5, 4) and (2, –8)? A. 12.0 units
B. 19.0 units
C. 9.7 units
D. 13.9 units

option d is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Equation Solution:

d=radical(2−(−5))2+(−8−4)2

d=radical(7)2+(−12)2

d=radical49+144

d=radical 1–93

d=13.892444

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
