#sqrt101 ≈ 10.05

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between 2 points , use the color(blue)" distance formula " distance formula

d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)d=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2

where (x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)" are the coords of 2 points "(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coords of 2 points

let(x_1,y_1)=(5,-3)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(-5,-2) (x1,y1)=(5,−3) and (x2,y2)=(−5,−2)

rArr d = sqrt((-5-5)^2+(-2+3)^2) = sqrt(100+1) =sqrt101⇒d=√(−5−5)2+(−2+3)2=√100+1=√101
