To find the distance between point P and point P', we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the coordinates for point P are (7, 4), and the coordinates for point P' after translation are (-3, -4).
Plugging these values into the distance formula, we get:
Distance = √((-3 - 7)^2 + (-4 - 4)^2)
= √((-10)^2 + (-8)^2)
= √(100 + 64)
= √164
Since none of the answer choices are √164, we can approximate the answer using a calculator:
√164 ≈ 12.806
The measurement closest to the distance between point P and point P' in units is 12.8.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the answer choices.
