Answer:
These two corners are [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] units apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between two points:
Suppose we have two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The distance between them is given by:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Approximately how far apart are the two corners?
We have to find the distance between the points (-5,-2) and (-8-3). So
[tex]D = \sqrt{(5-(-8))^2+(-2-(-3))^2} = \sqrt{13}[/tex]
These two corners are [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] units apart.
