we have the coordinates

P(1.4,3.7) and Q(9.3,9.7)

Distance PQ apply the formula


d=\sqrt[]{(y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2}
\begin{gathered} PQ=\sqrt[]{(9.7-3.7)^2+(9.3-1.4)^2} \\ PQ=\sqrt[]{(6)^2+(7.9)^2} \\ PQ=\sqrt[]{98.41^{}} \\ \end{gathered}

to estimate

P(1,4) and Q(9,10)


\begin{gathered} PQ=\sqrt[]{(10-4)^2+(9-1)^2} \\ PQ=\sqrt[]{(6)^2+(8)^2} \\ PQ=\sqrt[]{100} \\ PQ=10\text{ yards} \end{gathered}

the answer is 10 yards
