Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of the x values of these points is 3, and the difference between the y values of these points is 4. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this. We get

3² + 4² = c²

We simplify this to get

9 + 16 = c²

This is the same as

25 = c²

Since the square root of 25 is 5, our answer is B!
