Answer:
27 Units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance using x and y components, use the Pythagorean theory [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]. Set a as your x-coordinate and b as your y-coordinate (although you can flip them if you so desire). The result will you the square of your distance, so take the square root.
Alternatively, we can solve for C and find that [tex]c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}[/tex] or in this case [tex]distance = \sqrt{-25^2 + 10^2}[/tex].
This shows us that distance = 26.93 which is close enough to 27.
