Answer:
C. 13.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
64+121=185
square root of 185 = 13.6
The shortest distance between the G and H is 13.60 units. Then the correct option is C.
Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space. Using this, it is possible to find the distance between the points, the dividing line is m:n ratio, finding the mid-point of the line, etc.
The coordinate of G(-4, 5) and H(7, -3).
Then the distance between the GH will be given as
[tex]\rm GH= \sqrt{(-4-7)^2+(5+3)^2}\\\\GH= \sqrt{(-11)^2+(8)^2} \\\\GH= \sqrt{121+64}\\\\GH= \sqrt{185} \\\\GH= 13.60[/tex]
