Answer:

The answer is


√(13) \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: 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

B ( 3 , 1 ) and C( 6 , 3)

The distance between them is


|BC| = \sqrt{( {3 - 6})^(2) + ({1 - 3})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^(2) + ( { - 2})^(2) } \\ = √(9 + 4)

We have the final answer as


√(13) \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: units

Hope this helps you
