Answer:

To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:

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

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

In this case, the two points are (3, 4) and (6, 8), so we have:

d = sqrt((6 - 3)^2 + (8 - 4)^2)

d = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)

d = sqrt(9 + 16)

d = sqrt(25)

d = 5

Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 4) and (6, 8) is 5 units.

It's worth noting that the values 5√22 and √7 do not match the above
