Solution
The correct option is C 4 units
The end points of the ship is marked by the points A and B.
The coordinates of A are (-2, 5)
The coordinates of B are (2, 5)
The coordinates are in different quadrants.
They have same y-coordinates and different x-coordinates.
Hence, the distance between the points is the sum of the absolute values of the x-coordinates.
Absolute value of -2 = |-2| = 2
Distance between the points = 2 + 2 = 4
Hence, the length of the ship = 4 units
