We can calculate the distance between two points using the following formula


D=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

where,

(x1,y1) = (3,6)

(x2,y2) = (-1,1)

Replace


D=\sqrt[]{(3-(-1)^2+(6-1)^2}

Solve


\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{(4)^2+(5)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{16+25} \\ =\sqrt[]{41} \\ =6.4031 \end{gathered}

rounding to the nearest tenth of a klick

D = 6.4 Klicks
