Distance formula


d+=+sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29


d+=+sqrt%28%28-3-3%29%5E2%2B%282-%28-2%29%29%5E2%29


d+=+sqrt%28%28-3-3%29%5E2%2B%282%2B2%29%5E2%29


d+=+sqrt%28%28-6%29%5E2%2B%284%29%5E2%29


d+=+sqrt%2836%2B16%29


d+=+sqrt%2852%29


d+=+sqrt%284%2A13%29


d+=+sqrt%284%29%2Asqrt%2813%29


d+=+2%2Asqrt%2813%29 Exact distance in simplified radical form


d+=+7.21110255092798 Approximate distance


d+=+7.2 Round to the nearest tenth


The final answer is 7.2
