JUST GIVE ME THE ANSWER PLEASE!

hero · Answer

^that's exactly what I'm not supposed to do.

anonymous · Answer

I know , im sorry. this is the hardest thing for me

hero · Answer

Actually, it's pretty easy once you figure out what to do.

anonymous · Answer

its none of the above..

hero · Answer

How sure are you of that @ghass1978

anonymous · Answer

its the radical of one of them isn't it?

hero · Answer

Are you implying that the distance between two points is always a radical? @ghass1978

anonymous · Answer

no just using the distance formula
AB=sqrt((xB-xA)^2+(yB-yA)^2) so you'll get here sqrt(65)

hero · Answer

Yeah, It's a radical, but she's gone anyway.
