The distance between the marina and the restaurant is $1$ unit.

The distance between two points is shown by the formula:
$d = sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)$

We have the values for the two coordinates, so we can substitute them into the distance formula:
$d = sqrt((8-9)^2 + (2-2)^2)$

And now we simplify:
$d = sqrt((-1)^2 + (0)^2)$

$d = sqrt(1)$

$d = 1$

The distance between the marina and the restaurant is $1$ unit.

Hope this helps!
