Answer:A

Explanation:

The question given information for two co-ordinates

(7,4) = P and (3,-4) = P' according to the quesion

We can use pythagorean theorem to find the answer

a^2+b^2=c^2

The distance in x-axis between point P and P' = 4

and the distance in y-axis between point P and P' = 8

4^2+8^2 = c^2

C = 8.944
