Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance between C2 and SW1 we will use the formula of distance between two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^2 }[/tex]

Coordinates representing positions of C2 and SW1 are (2, 2) and (-6, -7) respectively.

By substituting these coordinates in the formula,

Distance between these points = [tex]\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-7-2)^2}[/tex]

                                                     = [tex]\sqrt{(64)+(81)}[/tex]

                                                     = [tex]\sqrt{145}[/tex] units

Therefore, Option (B) will be the correct option.

The answer is choice b
