To find the distance between the two points (9, 1) and (4, 10), we can use the distance formula, which is:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Substituting the given values, we get:

d = sqrt((4 - 9)^2 + (10 - 1)^2)
= sqrt((-5)^2 + 9^2)
= sqrt(25 + 81)
= sqrt(106)

Therefore, the distance between the two points is sqrt(106) units, or approximately 10.3 units (rounded to one decimal place).
