Answer:


\boxed {d = √(29)}

Explanation:

Use the Distance Formula to help you determine the distance between the two given points:


d = \sqrt{(x_(2) - x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2) - y_(1))^(2)}

First point:
(x_(1), y_(1))

Second point:
(x_(2), y_(2))

-Apply the given points onto the formula:

First point:
(6, 2)

Second point:
(1, 0)


d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (0 - 2)^(2)}

-Solve for the distance:


d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (0 - 2)^(2)}


d = \sqrt{(-5)^(2) + (-2)^(2)}


d = √(25 + 4)


\boxed {d = √(29)} (Since the number cannot be square rooted, it would stay the same)

Therefore, the distance is
√(29).
