[tex]~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{\large distance between 2 points}}{d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}}~\hfill~ \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) ~\hfill AB=\sqrt{[ 8- 1]^2 + [ 0- (-9)]^2} \\\\\\ AB=\sqrt{7^2+(0+9)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{7^2+9^2}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{130}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill[/tex]
[tex]B(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8}) ~\hfill BC=\sqrt{[ 9- 8]^2 + [ -8- 0]^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{1^2+(-8)^2}\implies \boxed{BC=\sqrt{65}}[/tex]
now, we could check for the CA distance, however, we already know that AB ≠ BC, so there's no need.
