Answer is 13.4 distance between the points

Step by step

These two points create a right triangle
With leg a = 12 and leg b = 6

We can solve this distance using Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 6^2 = c^2

144 + 36 = c^2

180 = c^2

√180 = c
solve

13.4 = c (distance between the points)
