Answer:
≈ 5.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 2)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(10-5)^2+(2-5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{5^2+(-3)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{25+9}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{34}[/tex] ≈ 5.8 units ( to the nearest tenth )
