answers
a-24
b-19
c-11
d-14

Answer 1

Answer:

d-14

Explanation:

In order to find the distance between the house and the subway stop, you have to use the distance formula

Distance formula (given): √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Insert Given Values [ (7,-7) and (-3,3) ]: √(7 - -3)² + (-7 - 3)²

Simplify: √(10)² + (-10)²

               √100 + 100

               √200

                ≈14
