Answer:

√13

Explanation:

There's a formula called the distance formula that is based on the Pythagorean theorem. It is used to find the distance between points in 2 (or more) dimensions.

The distance (d) between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

d = √((x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2)

___

To find the distance you're looking for, fill in the values in the formula and do the arithmetic.

d = √((6-3)^2 +(5-7)^2) = √(3^2 +(-2)^2)

d = √(9 +4)

d = √13

The distance between the given points is √13.
