To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2 , y2)
we will use the form:
![d=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/1h551ypq5weta3sw0dynfch7nxiwrgmnba.png)
as one of the points at the origin (0 , 0) and the other point will be (-50 , 25)
Note: the point (-50, 25) one of the corners of the Pole Barn, it is the closest corner to the stock tank
So, the distance will be:
![d=\sqrt[]{(-50-0)^2+(25-0)^2}=\sqrt[]{50^2+25^2}=\sqrt[]{2500+625}=\sqrt[]{3125}=55.9](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/am8i673x11sipwc7d7aju16auwely5pa7m.png)
