Alice the alien is visiting planet Earth to acquire a cow specimen for her terrestrial research. She has landed her ship in a pasture. The ship's sensors are giving the coordinates of the surrounding cows in meters (detailed below). The ship is located at the origin of the coordinate system.
$\qquad\text{Cow A}$ is at point $(6,8)$
$\qquad\text{Cow B}$ is at point $(-4,9)$
$\qquad\text{Cow C}$ is at point $(7,7)$
**If Alice wants to acquire the cow that is closest to her ship, which cow should she take?**
[[☃ radio 1]]
**The distance from that cow to Alice's ship is [[☃ math-keypad 1]]$\text{ m}$.**
Round the *final answer* to the nearest tenth of a meter. Do not round intermediate calculations.
