Answer:


d=√(26)\approx5.0990

Explanation:

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula.

The distance formula is:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Let (2,8) be x₁ and y₁ and let (7,7) be x₂ and y₂. Thus:


d=√((7-2)^2+(7-8)^2)

Simplify:


d=√(5^2+(-1)^2)

Square:


d=√(25+1)

Add:


d=√(26)\approx5.0990

And that's our answer :)
