d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)


d = sqrt((19-9)^2+(-29-(-5))^2)


d = sqrt((19-9)^2+(-29+5)^2)


d = sqrt((10)^2+(-24)^2)


d = sqrt(100+576)


d = sqrt(676)


d = 26


So exact distance between the two points is 26 units.

Let d = distance between the two points.

d = sqrt{(19 - 9)^2 + (-29 -(-5))^2}

d = sqrt{(10)^2 + (-24)^2}

d = sqrt{100 + 576}

d = sqrt{676}

d = 26

Done!
