sqrt13 ≈ 3.6

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between 2 coordinate points use the
color(blue)" distance formula "

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

where (x_1,y_1) " and " (x_2,y_2) " are the coords of the 2 points"

here let (x_1,y_1) = (5,6) " and "(x_2,y_2) = (8,8)

rArr d =sqrt((8-5)^2 + (8-6)^2) = sqrt(9+4) = sqrt13
