Answer:

15.6

Explanation:

Find the difference between coordinates:

(x2-x1) = (4 - -7) = 11

(y2-y1) = (3 - -8) = 11

Square the results and sum them up:

(11)2 + (11)2 = 121 + 121 = 242

Now Find the square root and that's your result:

Exact solution: √242 = 11√2

Aprox solution: 15.5563

Rounded to nearest tenth: 15.6
