Answer:

C

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 2 )

d =
√((5-1)^2+(2-5)^2)

=
√(4^2+(-3)^2)

=
√(16+9)

=
√(25)

= 5

Answer:

d =5

Explanation:

d =
√((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

at (1,5), (5,2)

d=
√((5-1)^2 +(2-5)^2)


d = √(16 + 9) \\d=√(25)\\ d =5

Therefore 5 is the distance.
