Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:

d

=

(

x

2

x

1

)

2

+

(

y

2

y

1

)

2

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:

d

=

(

6

3

)

2

+

(

4

5

)

2

d

=

(

6

+

3

)

2

+

(

4

+

5

)

2

d = √ ( − 3 ) 2+ 1 2

d = √ 9+ 1

d = √ 10

Or

d = 3.162

rounded to the nearest thousandth
