Answer:

components: {16,11}, distance: 194.16 yards

Explanation:

to find the length of a point to another point that has different y and x points you use the pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

16 and 11 are the distances from her house

16^2 + 11^2 = c^2

c^2 = 377

c = 19.416...

but we dont stop here

we have to convert this to yards by multiplying it by ten

19.416 * 10 = 194.16 yards
