The distance formula is : distance = SQRT((x2-X1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Use (3,5) for X1 and Y1
Use (-6,-6) for X2 and Y2

You now have:

distance = SQRT ( (-6 - 3)^2 + (-6 - 5)^2)

distance = SQRT (-9^2 + -11^2)

distance = SQRT ( 81 + 121)

distance = SQRT (202)

distance = 14.21 units

The answer is A.
