What is the distance between (-3, -11) and (8, -42)

Please help I will give points

ca 32.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to know how far it is between the two points in both directions

In the x direction the distance is 8 - (-3) = 11

In the y-direction the distance is -42 -(-11) = -31

Then to find the shortest distance between the two points find the hypotenuse of the triangle we just made

31^2 + 11^2 = h^2

961 + 121 = h^2

1082 = h^2

h = ca 32.89
