Answer:

5.8516

Explanation:

To find the distance between these 2 points we have to use the distance formula. The distance formula is as follows:


d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Let's find the variables of this equation:

x2 = 6

x1 = 1

y2 = 4

y1 = 2

Now, we can plug these in to the equation:


d = √((6-1)^2 + (4-2)^2)

Next, let's solve:


d = √((5)^2 + (2)^2)\\d = √(25 + 4) \\d = √(29) \\d = 5.8516

Therefore, the distance between points (1,2) and (6,4) is 5.8516

Hope this helps!!
