This is a question from coordinate geometry. This is a very simple question. You can solve it by using distance formula.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

First we have to assume the coordinates as following:-

Let the coordinates of A be (8,4) and coordinates of B be (5,1).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Further we have to assume:-


\mapsto\sf{X_1=8}

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\mapsto \sf{Y_1=4}

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\mapsto \sf{X_2=5}

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\mapsto \sf{Y_2=1}

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Here we have distance formula:-


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({X_2-X_1) }^(2) + {( Y_2-Y_1) }^(2) } }

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({5 - 8) }^(2) + {( 4 - 1) }^(2) } }

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= \sqrt{({ - 3) }^(2) + {( 3) }^(2) } }


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= √(9+ 9 ) }

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= √(18) }

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎


\sf{Distance \: of \: AB= 3 √(2) cm }

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

This is your final answer.
