Answer:

A

Explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2)

d =
√((0-5)^2+(2+3)^2)

=
√((-5)^2+5^2)

=
√(25+25)

=
√(50) =
√(25(2)) = 5
√(2)

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

we have the equation of distance between two points :

d=
√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

first point (5,-3)

second point (0,2)

so we have

d=
√((0-5)^2+(2-(-3))^2)

d=
√(25+25)

d=
√(50)

50=(5^2)*2

so we have d=
√(50) =
\sqrt{5^2*2

d=5
√(2)
