To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
In this case, the points are (12,9) and (0,4):
Distance = √((0 - 12)² + (4 - 9)²)
Distance = √((-12)² + (-5)²)
Distance = √(144 + 25)
Distance = √169
Distance = 13 units
Therefore, the distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4) is 13 units. So, the correct answer is:
