Given the points:

(x1, y1) ==> (25, 3)

(x2, y2) ==> (4, 7)

Let's find the distance between the two points using the distance formula.

Apply the distance formula:


d=√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

Plug in values on the formula and solve for the distance, d:


\begin{gathered} d=√((4-25)^2+(7-3)^2) \\ \\ d=√((-21)^2+(4)^2) \\ \\ d=√(441+16) \\ \\ d=√(457) \end{gathered}

Therefore, he distance between the points is:


√(457)

ANSWER:


√(457)
