Answer:

The correct answer is last option

10

Explanation:

Points to remember

Distance formula

Length of a line segment with end points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

To find the distance between given points

Here (x1, y1) = R(0, 0) and (x2, y2) = S(6, 8)

Distance, RS = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

= √[(6 - 0)² + (8 - 0)²]

= √[6² + 8²]

= √[36 + 64]

= √100

= 10

Therefore the correct answer is last option 10
