Answer:

approximately 12.04 units

Explanation:

We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

There are two points here. The horizontal distance between them is 8 units and the vertical distance is 9.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem (or the Distance Formula), the distance between the two points is

d = √(8^2 + 9^2) = √(64 + 81) = √145 units, or approximately 12.04 units.
