Use the graph to answer the following questions.
You are helping to plan a community garden. Sprinklers
need to be set up at each end of the garden plot for
irrigation, plus one more at the midpoint.

Which equation correctly solves for distance in this
situation?
(1 point)
d = √√(5-1)²+(0-5)²
= √√(4)² +(-5)²
d = √(0-5)² × (5-1)²
=
√(-5)² × (4)²
d = √(0-5)² - (5-1)²
= √(-5)² - (4)²
d = √(5-1)+(0-5)
=
√(4)+(-5)
The correct equation is:
d = √((5-1)² + (0-5)²)
= √(4² + (-5)²)
= √(16 + 25)
= √41
Therefore, the distance between points J and K is √41.
