Answer:

3.2

Explanation:

Compute the Euclidean distance between the following points:

p_1 = (6.6, 7.9) and p_2 = (6.6, 4.7)

The Euclidean distance between points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is:

sqrt((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)

Substitute (x_1, y_1) = (6.6, 7.9) and (x_2, y_2) = (6.6, 4.7):

= sqrt((6.6 - 6.6)^2 + (7.9 - 4.7)^2)

6.6 - 6.6 = 0:

= sqrt(0^2 + (7.9 - 4.7)^2)

0^2 = 0:

= sqrt(0 + (7.9 - 4.7)^2)

| 7. | 9

- | 4. | 7

| 3. | 2:

= sqrt(3.2^2)

Cancel exponents. sqrt(3.2^2) = 3.2:

Answer: = 3.2
