Answer:

The exact distance is √65

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to make the difference between (-5, 1) and (3, 0)

(3 , 0) - (-5 , 1) =

3 - (-5) = 8

0 - 1 = -1

(8 , -1)

Now that we have the distance in x and r we can use Pythagoras to calculate the distance of the diagonal

a = 8

b = -1

h² = a² + b²

h² = 8² + (-1)²

h² = 64 + 1

h² = 65

h = √65

The exact distance is √65
