Given

Two points (8,6) and (3,−6)

Find

distance between the two points

Step-by-step explanation

Distance between the two points is given by


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

so , distance between (8,6) and (3,−6) is


\begin{gathered} d=√((3-8)^2+(-6-6)^2) \\ d=√(25+144) \\ d=√(169) \\ d=13 \end{gathered}

Final Answer

Therefore , the distance between these two points is 13
