Answer:

5.7

Explanation:

d = √((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)

Step by step procedure:

Find the difference between coordinates:

(x2-x1) = (8 - 4) = 4

(y2-y1) = (-7 - -3) = -4

Square the results and sum them up:

(4)2 + (-4)2 = 16 + 16 = 32

Now Find the square root and that's your result:

Exact solution: √32 = 4√2

Approximate solution: 5.6569
