Answer:


\large\boxed{|\overrightarrow{CD}|=3√(61)}

Explanation:

The formula of a magnitude of vector:


|\overrightarrow{AB}|=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

where


A(x_1,\ y_1),\ B(x_2,\ y_2)

We have:


C(10,\ 10),\ D(-8,\ -5)

Substitute:


|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√((-8-10)^2+(-5-10)^2)\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√((-18)^2+(-15)^2)\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√(324+225)\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√(549)\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√((9)(61))\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=√(9)\cdot√(61)\\\\|\overrightarrow{CD}|=3√(61)
