Answer:

11

Explanation:

The distance between them can be calculated using Distance Formula , the points here are (8,7) and (1,-2) . Using Distance Formula we have ,

⇒ D = √ [ (x_2 - x_1)² + (y_2 - y_1)² ]

⇒ D = √ [ (8-1)² + (7+2)² ]

⇒ D = √ [ 7² + 9² ]

⇒ D = √ [ 49 + 81 ]

⇒ D = √ 130

D = 11.401 units

Rounding off we have , 11.401 ≈ 11 units .

Hence the required answer is 11 units
