Answer:

The answer is

14 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

(3, 5.25) and (3, –8.75)

The distance between them is


d = \sqrt{ ({3 - 3})^(2) + ({5.25 + 8.75})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {0}^(2) + {14}^(2) } \\ = √(196) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 14 \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

14 units

Hope this helps you
