the distance $= sqrt(13$

The points are:
$(8,5) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(6,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The distance is calculated using the below mentioned formula:

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

$= sqrt((6-8)^2 + (2-5)^2$

$= sqrt((-2)^2 + (-3)^2$

$= sqrt(4 +9$

the distance $= sqrt(13$

What is the distance between (8,5)(8,5) and (6,2)(6,2)?
