Which is the distance from point A to B?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6

Answer:
c) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question you are being asked to find the hypotenuse of the triangle
the triangle has one side that is 3 and the other is 4
use Pythagoras to find the missing side (a^2+b^2=c^2)
3^2+4^2=c^2
simplify the exponents
9+16=c^2
combine like terms/adding
25=c^2
take the square root
5=c
the length of the hypotenuse is 5
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance AB use the distance formula
AB = √ ( x₂ - x₁ )² + ( y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(3, 4)
AB = [tex]\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(4-0)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{9+16}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5 → C
