Answer:
9.4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Don't understand? Simple. The shortest distance between two points is a diagonal line. So, we make a right triangle.
The first side is 8 units long (the bottom side from -4 to 4)
The second side is 5 units long (the right side from 3 to -2)
Now we do the formula:
5^2+8^2 = c^2
25+64=C^2
89 = C^2
[tex]\sqrt{89} =\sqrt{x}[/tex]
9.433981132 = x
9.4 = x
