Answer:

√34

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula, which is:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

We can plug in the points (3, 7) and (-2, 10) to get:

d = √[(-2 - 3)^2 + (10 - 7)^2]

We can simplify.

d = √[(-5)^2 + (3)^2]

d = √(25 + 9)

d = √(34)

d = √34
