Answer:

d=√(193)

Explanation:

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

Points: (9, 2) & (-3, 9)

d=√((-3 - 9)²+(9 - 2)²)

d=√((-12)²+(7)²)

d=√(144)+(49)

d=√(193)

Answer:

≈ 13.9

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = K(9, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L(- 3, 9)

d =
√((-3-9)^2+(9-2)^2)

=
√((-12)^2+7^2)

=
√(144+49)

=
√(193)

≈ 13.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
