Answer:

The answer is 10 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula


d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) } \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(7-5); B(7,5)

The distance between them is


d = \sqrt{ ({7 - 7})^(2) + ({ - 5 - 5})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {0}^(2) + ( { - 10})^(2) } \\ = √(100)

We have the final answer as

10 units

Hope this helps you
