To calculate the length of the diagonal between points A and B, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem since these points form a right triangle.
The distance between points A and B along the x-axis is 5 units.
The distance between points A and B along the y-axis is 12 units.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
diagonal length = sqrt(5^2 + 12^2)
diagonal length = sqrt(25 + 144)
diagonal length = sqrt(169)
diagonal length = 13 units
Therefore, the length of the diagonal between point A and point B is 13 units.
None of the given answer choices match this calculation exactly, but the closest one is 13.45 units.
