Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Hints: } \mathrm{A} \equiv(2,4) ; \mathrm{C} \equiv(2,-4) ; \mathrm{B} \equiv(-2,-4) \\ & |A B|=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(4-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{4^2+8^2} \\ & =\sqrt{16+64}=\sqrt{80}=\sqrt{16 \times 5}=4 \sqrt{5} \end{aligned} \]
