Answer:

4√5 ≈ 8.944

Explanation:

You want the distance between A(1, 5) and B(9, 9).

Distance

The distance between two points is found using the distance formula:

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((9 -1)² +(9 -5)²) = √(8² +4²) = √80 = 4√5

The distance between the points is 4√5 ≈ 8.944 units.

Additional comment

If you're not asked for the exact value, you may need to round your answer differently.
