Answer:

The distance would be 6.7 or 3✓5

Explanation:

Im sure there's a faster way to find this, but I'm in 8th grade sooo yeah.

First things first we can use the equation

d=✓(X2-X1)*2+(Y2-Y1)*2

X2= 8

X1= 5

Y2= 13

Y1= 7

From here, you plug in the values and do as followed. You subtract the values to get the answer. For example 8-5 would get us (3)*2.

From here you square the 3 to get 9. You also do the same to the right side of the equation.

Now you have d=✓(3)*2 + (6)*2

From here you square it and you get d=✓9+36

Now we have: d✓45

Now we square the 45 to get 6.7082..., but we round the answer to get 6.7!

Hope this helps! If you have any questions please feel free to ask, as I understand the struggle of math! :)
