Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

To find the distance between each pair of points, we use the distance formula, which is:

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2 + (y_(2) -y_(1))^2  }

So we have


x_(1) = 2\\ x_(2) = 4\\y_(1) = 8\\y_(2)=3

When we plug in the values into the formula we get:

d =
√((4-2)^2 + (3-8)^2)

d =
√(4 + 25)\\ =√(29)\\ =5.4
