Answer:

option C

Explanation:

When we use the distance formula for two points ( x, y ) and ( x', y¹ )

Then formula is (distance)² = (x - x¹)² + (y - y¹)²

This is quite similar to the formula used in a right angle triangle to determine hypotenuse

(Hypotenuse)² = (base)²+(height)²

Therefore, option C is the answer.
