Answer: Choice C

exact length = sqrt(26) units

approximate length = 5.10 units

=======================================================

Work Shown:

We can use the distance formula.

A = (x1,y1) = (2,2)

B = (x2,y2) = (1,-3)


d = √((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)\\\\d = √((2-1)^2 + (2-(-3))^2)\\\\d = √((2-1)^2 + (2+3)^2)\\\\d = √((1)^2 + (5)^2)\\\\d = √(1 + 25)\\\\d = √(26)\\\\d \approx 5.0990195\\\\d \approx 5.10\\\\

The distance from A to B is exactly sqrt(26) units which approximates to 5.10 units. This distance represents the length of chord AB.
