The distance is $~~ 14$

The distance, d, between two points is:

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

Using the two given points:

$d =sqrt((-3.2 - 9.4)^2 + (8.6 - 2.5)^2)$

$d =sqrt((-12.6)^2 + (6.1)^2)$

$d =sqrt(158.76+ 37.21)$

$d = sqrt(195.97)$

$d~~ 14$

What is the distance between the points (9.4, 2.5)(9.4, 2.5) and (-3.2, 8.6)(-3.2, 8.6)?
