graph points and draw a right triangle use a^2+b^2=c^2 to find the distance since c=length of the segment.
\n" ); document.write( "a=6
\n" ); document.write( "b=13 \"(8+5)\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"36%2B169=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"205=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28205%29=c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14.32=c\"
\n" ); document.write( "so answer choice (a) is correct
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
