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.
A coordinate graph is shown. A line segment extends from point J, which is labeled 1 comma 5, down and to the right to point K, which is labeled 5 comma 0.

The correct equation to solve for distance in this situation is:
d = √((5 - 1)^2 + (0 - 5)^2)
= √(4^2 + (-5)^2)
= √(16 + 25)
= √41
So, the correct equation is d = √41.
so is it a b c or d
Based on the equations provided:
a) d = √((5 - 1)^2 + (0 - 5)^2) = √(16 + 25) = √41
It seems that the correct equation is option a.
