the distance between (0,-5) & (18,-10)
d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%280-18%29%5E2%2B%28-5-%28-10%29%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28-18%29%5E2%2B%28-5%2B10%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28-18%29%5E2%2B%285%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28324%2B25%29
d=sqrt%28349%29
d=18.6815416922694
d=18.7
answer:
B:sqrt%28349%29, or 18.7 Units
