The distance is $sqrt5$ .

Using the formula of distance between two points:

$d = sqrt((y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2)$

where the first point has coordinates $(x_1, y_1)$ and the other point has coordinates $(x_2, y_2)$ .

So, we get that:

$d = sqrt((4-3)^2 + (0-2)^2) = sqrt(1^2 + (-2)^2) = sqrt(1 + 4) = sqrt5$ .

What is the distance between (2,3) (2,3) and (0, 4)(0, 4)?
