#sqrt(2.5)#

We have: #(4, 2.5)# and #(2.5, 3)#

#=> d = sqrt((2.5 - 4)^(2) + (3 - 2.5)^(2))#

#=> d = sqrt((- 1.5)^(2) + (0.5)^(2))#

#=> d = sqrt(2.25 + 0.25)#

#=> d = sqrt(2.5)#

Answer is #d=## 5sqrt0.1# .

Distance (d) #=sqrt((x_2-x_1)+(y_2-y_1)#.
#:.d=sqrt((4-2.5)^2+(2.5-3)^2) =sqrt((1.5)^2+(-0.5)^2) =sqrt(2.25+0.25) =sqrt2.50 =5sqrt0.1#

#:.# #d=## 5sqrt0.1# (answer).
