To compute the distance between points D and C using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the given side lengths.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Let's call the side lengths a, b, and c, where c is the hypotenuse.
The given side lengths are:
a = 11 inches
b = 7 inches
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse:
c² = a² + b²
c² = 11² + 7²
c² = 121 + 49
c² = 170
To solve for c, we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
c = √170
Using a calculator, we find that √170 is approximately 13.038 inches.
Therefore, the distance between points D and C is approximately 13.038 inches.

My apologies for any confusion. Let's calculate the distance between points D and C using the correct given side lengths.
Given side lengths:
a = 30 inches
b = 33 inches
Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
c² = a² + b²
c² = 30² + 33²
c² = 900 + 1089
c² = 1989
Taking the square root of 1989:
c = √1989
Using a calculator, we find that √1989 is approximately 44.5 inches.
Therefore, the distance between points D and C is approximately 44.5 inches.
