Answer:

The answer is

0.5 units

Explanation:

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


d = \sqrt{ ({x_1 - x_2})^(2) + ({y_1 - y_2})^(2) } \\

where

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

From the question the points are

(2.7, 5.1) and (3, 4.7)

The distance between them is


d = \sqrt{ ({2.7 - 3})^(2) + ({5.1 - 4.7})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 0.3})^(2) + ( {0.4})^(2) } \\ = √(0.09 + 0.16) \\ = √(0.25) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 0.5 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

0.5 units

Hope this helps you
