Distance between #(-4.5,-4.5)# and #(3.5,3.5)# is #8sqrt2#

The distance. Between two points #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)# is given by

#sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)#

Hence distance between #(-4.5,-4.5)# and #(3.5,3.5)# is given by

#sqrt((3.5-(-4.5))^2+(3.5-(-4.5))^2)#

= #sqrt(8^2+8^2)#

= #sqrt(64+64)#

= #sqrt128=sqrt(8^2×2)#

= #8sqrt2#
