We will use the distance formula to find the distance of the segment:

Distance Formula:
d= √ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

(2,4) (7,2) are the coordinates, where x1=2, x2=7; y1=4 and y2=2

Plug-in points:
d= √ (7- 2)² + (2 -4)²

d= √ (5)² + (-2)²

d= √25+4

d= √29 =5.385

So, the distance is about 5 units!
